CUPCAKES WITH A MASK

I found this fantastic picture in my paper in the UK, The Times. I saved it in my scrap book of ideas which I keep to help me design cupcakes and cupcake recipes. I really like the images on the face. I had some small cupcakes in the freezer so I decided to do them in this style. It would be great to do this with the kids. They could collect face pictures from the paper and then have a go at making them on a cupcake.

First of all I iced the cupcakes in plain white icing made from icing sugar and a drop of warm water. I then got out the ready made icing in red, yellow and black. I thought that the eyes really stood out so I made three coloured circles and cut these in half and put them on the cupcakes. I then added more features using small bits of ready made icing which I shaped with my fingers. I then added more details with writing icing tubes in the same three colours.





I then decide to just make a face and put on a pair of shades. I made the hair by pressing some ready made icing through a metal sieve. I could do lots more of these and make all types of shades, children would love to do this.

Why not have a go and let me know how you get on.

Enjoy, Crazycupcakes
