Pretty Flower Cupcake Toppers Made From Supermarket Candy!
/
We're finally feeling spring here in NY with trees flowering and daffodils everywhere...yay! To celebrate, I'm sharing a candy flower cupcake-topper video I created with Fisher-Price. They would be perfect for a Mother's Day dessert or tea party!
I used gumdrops, pink taffy (like strawberry Airheads), pink marshmallows, Sunkist fruit gems, green sour straws (for stems) and green sour belt (for leaves)!
The cupcakes can be grouped together on a platter to create a "bouquet".
Snipping pink marshmallows with scissors creates perfect chrysanthemum petals!
The roses are made from pink/strawberry Airheads. Cut a leaf shape from sour belt to make a leaf and tuck it underneath.
Happy spring...and Mother's Day!
I made these little cuties many years ago for Martha Stewart Kids! Felt, buttons, pipe cleaners, crepe paper, tiny pom-poms, markers, and other crafty materials make perfect animal body parts! I used blown out eggs so that I could keep these forever but you can make them on plastic eggs too!
No need to follow these. Set out bowls with small, lightweight craft materials and some white glue, markers and scissors, and see what your kids come up with!
