April Fool's Day Cupcakes

It's April Fool's Day on Sunday and what better way to trick your family and friends than with these imaginative and irresistible cupcakes!


Corn on the Cob 


What you'll need -

• White iced cupcakes
• Yellow and white jelly beans
• Yellow Starburst sweets
• White and black decorating sugar
• Corn holders

Place the jelly beans in rows along three iced cupcakes to mimic kernels. Line up the cupcakes and sprinkle the white and black decorating sugar across the tops. To make the butter, mould a yellow Starburst fruit sweet in your hands or place in the microwave for only a few seconds, then set it on top of the centre cupcake. Add a corn holder to each end of the cob and serve on a plate. 

Feeling creative? Why not try serving up these Spaghetti and Meatball cupcakes!

• White icing tinted with cocoa powder and yellow food colouring
• Hazelnut Chocolates e.g. Ferrero Rocher 
• Low Sugar Strawberry Preserve e.g. Balance No Added Sugar Strawberry Jam
• Shredded coconut

Arrange the cupcakes on a plate so that they are all touching. Place the icing in a sandwich bag and snip a hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe the icing all over the cupcakes to resemble spaghetti. Place the chocolate in the strawberry jam then position them on top of the cupcakes with some extra jam for sauce! Sprinkle with shredded coconut or grated white chocolate!  

These wonderful cupcake creations are from a book I have called 'Hello Cupcake' by Karen Tack & Alan Richardson.
