Back To School Baking

I have been thinking about doing some "Back to Preschool" cupcake baking with the girls, to just add to Ella's excitement. I know, baking cupcakes with two 2yr olds? I'm fearless that way. I found these darling cupcakes here, and we are going to give it a shot. The recipe doesn't look to daring, I'll have to keep in mind that ours might not look exactly like the picture :). Here's the recipe:

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Yellow, green, and white frosting
Cupcakes
Red Skittles or M&M's
Small plastic bag
Rubber band or twist tie
Chocolate-covered graham crackers
White Good & Plenty candies

1. Cover the cupcakes with yellow frosting and allow them to sit for an hour before decorating. Dab each red Skittle or M&M with a bit of green frosting for the apple's leaf, then set them aside.

2. Put a tablespoon or two of white frosting into a small plastic bag for piping. Cut a very small hole in a corner of the bag, twist the top of the bag closed, and secure it with a rubber band or twist tie. Piping the frosting gently out of the hole, write messages on the chocolate-covered graham crackers. Leave space at the bottom of the cookie, where it'll be stuck into the cupcake.

3. Cut a groove in the cupcake's frosting with a knife, then fit a blackboard into the groove. Add one Skittle or M&M apple and a piece of Good & Plenty chalk, as shown.

I'll be sure to post the outcome of ours, I think we will do it tomorrow or Thursday. Happy Baking!!
