These were made for a cake party I have been invited to attend tomorrow night. I wanted to get creative (to a slight degree) and make these cupcakes stand out. Here are the supplies.

I make the cake batter with egg whites and no yokes so that way, when I put in the food coloring, the cake will be blue instead of green. It actually took about 14 drops of coloring for it to get to the way it appears. I didn’t want to go over that number since I also didn’t want it to have that dye taste to it and upset the stomachs of the people that will be eating them.

While I wait for the cupcakes to bake, get started with making the molds. I use a double boiler to melt the candy melts so I can pour them on the molding sheet.

The cupcakes are baked, lets ice them up while we wait for the molds to cool off and get in shape.

I used an icing tool to make the icing appear more presentable than just spreading it on with a rubber knife. It turns out this is a little harder than I thought.

The melts are solid, let’s put them on the icing.

Now we sprinkle it up for the blue ocean effect. I could have bought some icing that was already blue, but I do not like the way the dye tastes. Instead, I got white icing and a tall bottle of blue sprinkles.

It looks like we are finished. I ended up running out of icing so a few cupcakes will be served naked (minus the Little Mermaid cupcake liners). They do not look professional, but I made them for the fun of it. They did not turn out as nice as I imagined, but I am sure the people at the party will enjoy them. This was my first time working with candy melts all by myself and I think I did pretty well with that.

Here is a bonus. This is what the cupcakes look like on the inside. That’s my mom holding it since I allowed her have one of the non iced cupcakes.

自制蛋糕表心意 无限感恩甜在心

母亲的生恩、养育之恩浩瀚如海，老师们希望透过母亲节这一个殊胜的日子，让小朋友更能深切地体会其恩，并且以行动来报恩。

在母亲节的前几个月，老师们开始构思，商议如何让小朋友尽孝，借此让合家共度一个特别的节日。

决议的结果是让小朋友们亲自制作杯子蛋糕，然后以个人的情意及创意点缀，最后双手捧着杯子蛋糕请母亲享用，以此答谢母亲的恩情。

整个筹备过程，除了要感谢组长、老师及家长的大力支持，特别感谢玉娇老师及修光班长发心教导这些孩子及协助整个制作过程，甚至毫无犹疑地借出器材、买材料又亲自预先教导老师制作杯子蛋糕。

5月13日，老师们带着六个班级，一起与同学们欢喜进行杯子蛋糕制作，气氛好不热闹。孩子们天真无邪地参与，家长踊跃地护持，还买了食品与老师们分享以表谢意。

教孩子们做蛋糕为他人带来欢喜，成为孩子的好模范，同时也让自己学习向善，自利利他的心意真令人感动。
