Tomorrow is Carnival, and it will be a big party at school! The teachers are all dressed up beautifully, and some children are wearing homemade works of art. Every class has their own theme. Which is so much fun to see, early in the morning on the schoolyard. But because today is Sunday, we are already celebrating Carnival a little bit at home. The costumes are being fitted for the last time, and if everything fits well, we are going to have tea. This time with Carnival cupcakes on the side :)))
Bake the cupcakes with our recipe.
Beat the cream with 2 tablespoons sugar.
Spoon the whipped cream into a piping bag.
Place in the fridge until you are ready to pipe the cupcakes.
How to make streamers from fondant icing
Dust your work surface with icing sugar
Fetch all the colours fondant icing you have.
Knead it until soft.
Roll the fondant icing thinly under bakng paper.
Find a chopstick or use a (cleaned) pencil
Roll thin strips around your stick.
Roll all the colours you've got.
Allow the streamers to harden.
- Fondant does not harden very quickly, we often make it a day in advance
- Is your fondant not hard enough? Then place the streamers flat on the cupcakes
Stick the streamers into the whipped cream.
Finally sprinkle your serving dish with sugar confetti.
Now the party can star, have lots of fun!
