Snow Cone Cupcakes

Last week we had the annual Family pool party at my Aunt & Uncle's place. Like last year, I decided to bring cupcakes again. I think we (my sister and I) may have started something last year with these cute teddy bear pool party cupcakes (if you missed the post you can check them out). A couple weeks back my sister and I went on a search for this years cupcakes. She found some bright coloured slushy ones and I found some snow cone ones so we decided to combine the two ideas and we created the following.  Once they were done and put away in the fridge for safe keeping, they created such a beautiful burst of colour  every time the fridge was opened!

Byron found these Twizzlers at the grocery store, which were perfect for our cupcakes!

 

Aren't the colours just so bright and cheery?

 

 

Cupcakes ready for icing. We just used a simple buttercream icing.

 

Icing is on, ready for next step.

 

 

The finished product ...

Since we had some Twizzers left over, we cut them into bite-sized pieces and scattered them around the cupcake tray, which added a little more colour.

At the party, they were a hit {mission accomplished}. Some people even thought they were real snow cones when they saw them at first! Again with my sister's help, we created some fun cupcakes!!
