Day 33-Ground Hog Cupcakes

Today was Ground Hogs Day! To celebrate we ate all three meals on the Ground. It was a ton of fun and something that I want to do every year. We also made these cute little cupcakes and Tate delivered them to a few friends.

  2. What did you use to decorate the cupcakes? They are so cute. I will probably do something like that for my groundhog girl!

  4. Edith,
    Here is the recipe I used, it's from the Family Fun Magazine:

    Groundhog Day Cupcakes
    -Baked cupcakes
    -Almond Joy candybars
    -White frosting
    -White jelly beans
    -Black decorators' gel
    -Watermelon slice candy
    -Brown M&M's Minis
    -Chocolate cookies

    Step 1 Remove a piece of cake the width of an Almond Joy candy from the center of a baked cupcake. Set the candy upright in the hole, then spread a layer of white frosting on the cupcake. Step 2 For the groundhog's eyes, trim the ends from a white jelly bean, stick them in place with frosting, then dot them with black decorators' gel. Add a tiny triangle cut from a watermelon slice candy for a nose, brown M&M's Minis for ears and cheeks, and a tiny rectangular piece of white jelly bean for teeth. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs around the partially emerged groundhog, and he's ready to greet his fans.
