How To Make A Snowman Cupcake
Here are step by step instructions on how to make Snowman Cupcakes.
First here are the ingredients you will need :
4oz/125g of sugar
4oz/125g of self raising flower
4oz/125g of butter
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pour all the ingredients into a bowl and mix using an electric whisk. Spoon into cupcake cases. Once you have done that cook at 170 degrees celcius for 35-40 minutes.
Then get some ‘Just Roll’ icing and cut it into circles using a circle cookie cutter. Once you have done that place on the top of the cake. After that get a marshmallow and place it at the top of the cake. Get a strawberry fizzy stick or an icing scarf and put around the ‘neck’ of the marshmallow.
For extra taste make some butter icing to put on little hearts and use a piping bag to put buttons down the middle of the snowman!
There you have it – your very own snowman cupcakes!

A Challenge for P7
On Monday 15th December 2010, we got a challenge. We had to write and present a Blue Peter style show. The theme was Christmas. We had to think of things that we could show and do in front of pupils and teachers at our assembly . We had many ideas and here are the ones that we did: Snowglobes, Lavalamps , Christmas cupcakes, Christmas dance ,Christmas cards, Dough tree decorations or door hangers.
At the end of our presentations we got asked lots of questions about how we made our Christmassy things so we have put together instructions on how to make them!
Have fun!
