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!

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!
