Day 5 of 5: Carnival Themed Cupcakes
My 12-year-old daughter is at it again… exploring the world of decorating CUPCAKES! This time she had a friend help her out, which always makes it more exciting! Both girls have decided to enter a Cupcake War Fundraising Contest … pick a theme, flavors, and display, get creative… and bake and decorate 100 cupcakes! They had a trial run this past weekend and the results were a huge success! They came out and tasted so good (Ok, I am slightly biased!), I thought I would share them on my blog. So, over the next 5 days, 1 new Carnival Themed Cupcake Design will be shared to inspire our followers for their next themed party or event! Designs include POPCORN, SNOW CONES, HOT DOGS, COTTON CANDY, and ICE CREAM MILK SHAKES!
We would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Pinterest for inspiring these girls with creative cupcake designs. The girls used some ideas from Pinterest, while adding their own creative flavors and supplies (all while sticking to a budget). Looking forward to the main event, but until then… enjoy these nostalgic cupcake designs!
