Mr. Frog Cupcakes


I made these adorable cupcakes for Knox's 1st birthday.

Having planned this party 3 states away, my resources were limited when it came to feeding 60 people dessert. I try to shy away from plain ole sheet cakes whenever possible; so - opting for variety - I ended up making 3 desserts: a coconut cake, Fruit Pizza, and Mr. Frog cupcakes for the kiddos. They loved them! (And so did the adults, if we're being honest.)

I'll credit Google for this idea:

- Tint plain white icing green with food coloring (I used mainly green and a few drops of yellow). Frost cupcakes.
- Cut chilled marshmallows with clean scissors to make 4 circles. Dab with black icing to make "googly" eyes.
- Create smile with black icing.
- Cut chilled fruit roll-ups into forked strips to make tongues.
- Sprinkle cupcakes with green sugar to make freckles.


They were almost too good to eat.

Oh and I know I said I made them, but I really just did the first one and then delegated them to my sister to finish.

She did a fantastic job!
