My eldest daughter entered these into the fair a couple of years ago. The idea originally came from Family Fun Magazine. You can use your favorite cupcake and icing recipe! This was a very fun project for a Mom (or Dad) and a young child!

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

circus peanuts
1 square caramel candy
yellow decorator's icing
red decorator's icing
cut-up green gumdrop (optional)
1 baked cupcake
2 tablespoons white icing
1 teaspoon small mixed color nonpareils

Steps:

  • For the bun, cut a wedge in the circus peanut. If the caramel is soft, roll it into a hot dog shape. If it's hard, first soften it in your hand or in a microwave for a few seconds. Caution: the caramel can get hot!
  • Place the "hot dog" in the bun and squirt on a squiggly line of yellow and/or red icing.
  • Garnish with green gumdrop "relish," if you wish.
  • Frost the cupcake with white icing, place the hot dog on top, and sprinkle on nonpareils.

Categories     dessert

Time 15m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

21 undecorated cupcakes
8 cups buttercream frosting
Assorted candies
Fresh, organic edible flowers

Steps:

  • On a 13-by-11-inch cake board or serving platter, arrange the cupcakes into milestone birthday numbers (or the initials of the person you're celebrating!). Plan to have about two dozen cupcakes on hand to work with and 6 to 8 cups frosting. (The cupcakes that are not used for the pull-apart cake can be frosted and served on the side.) Place approximately 1/4 cup frosting on top of each cupcake using two spoons. Use an offset spatula to smooth the frosting into an even layer across the cupcakes. Transfer 2 cups of the frosting to a disposable pastry bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe stars of buttercream onto the surface of the frosted cake. Decorate with candy pieces and fresh edible flowers.
