There are so many baking blogs I follow that will be incredibly disappointed to learn my cupcakes were made from a box.
There, I've said it.
I've never claimed to be a baker. Believe me, I am sure my guests were happy I didn't attempt to make these from scratch :)
Here is how you can make these 'semi-homemade' carousel cupcakes.
Supplies needed:
Animal Crackers {perhaps you don't need the industrial sized tub of animal crackers}
Cupcakes {feel free to show me up and make your cupcakes from scratch}
Icing
Cocktail umbrellas
To decorate:
Ice the cupcakes. Arrange 3 animal crackers upright around the perimeter of the cupcake. Add a cocktail umbrella to the middle.
Isn't everything better with a cocktail umbrella?
Be warned: If you make the mistake of inviting some rambunctious neighbor boys over, to enjoy a carousel cupcake, make sure they don't use the cocktail umbrellas as weapons :)
