Dinosaur Cupcake
Ten ways to sweeten a party from FamilyFun
Melissa Specht from Anderson, Indiana, and Jennifer Stansbury from Laramie,
Wyoming, both suggested placing small plastic party favors on top of cupcakes. Melissa served cupcakes decorated with plastic turtles, fish and birds at her daughter's Tropical Island birthday party, and Jennifer perched butterfly hair clips on flower cupcakes. Our version, with a brontosaurus, a mighty Tyrannosaurus rex and others stomping across the cupcakes, works well for a Dinosaur Party .
WHAT YOU NEED:
1 baked cupcake
White icing
Zip-top plastic bag
Shredded coconut
Green food coloring
Small plastic dinosaur (washed)
TO DECORATE:
Frost the cupcake. To make the "grass," place a handful of shredded coconut in the zip-top bag, add a few drops of food coloring, seal the bag and shake it. Cover the frosting with grass and top with a dinosaur.
TIP: For a sandy look, use crushed graham crackers or molasses cookies instead of tinted coconut. Small rocks can be made out of chopped nuts.
