You don’t have to be a professional baker to get involved; have fun with the kids getting messy in the kitchen decorating buttercream and icing.
It is a great idea to amuse the little ones on a rainy afternoon and the whole family can sit down and eat the delicious cupcakes after tea.
There are hundreds of style variations and recipes to try and once you’ve baked the cupcakes you can decorate them with anything and everything from edible glitter, dusting powder, baubles, flowers and edible sugar!
Let the children’s creativity go wild and they can even be given as presents to relatives’ upcoming birthdays with their names penned on with decorative icing.
Ulster Weavers fantastic childrens aprons are perfect so the youngster’s clothes don’t get ruined and one can even dress them up in a matching chef hat so they really play the part.
And after all the baking has been done and the home is a mess why not pop the kettle on and have some lovely tea? A piping hot brew is a dream when scoffing a sweet-smelling scrumptious cupcake and Ulster’s cute cosies are ideal to keep your cuppa nice and toasty.
