Okay, so after the release of Alice In Wonderland I have had this unrelenting urge for tea. Be it afternoon tea with the kids, lunch at the local tea house or hosting a tea party. I just love frilly cups of tea lately. And what goes well with frilly cups of tea? Well, dainty little snacks of course. While searching for tea party recipes I came across the cutest idea for kids at teatime–edible teacups. This dainty little snack takes it relationship with tea to a whole new level. These teacups are fun to make, fun to look at and yummy to eat. So, for your next tea time with the kids whip up a batch of these for some whimsical fun!
Ingredients:
For each teacup, you’ll need:
- Cup-style wafer ice cream cone
- Round sugar or shortbread cookie
- Decorator’s icing
- 2 gummy rings candies
- Assorted candies or snacks to fill the teacup
Directions:
- Use a serrated knife to carefully cut the cup portion of the ice cream cone from the handle (this is an adult’s job). Discard the handle and set the cup aside for now.
- Place a gummy ring candy on the center of the cookie, using decorator’s icing to “glue” it in place.
- Set the ice cream cone cup on top of the gummy ring. Again, using a thin line of decorator’s icing to hold the cone in place.
- For a teacup handle, slice the second gummy ring in half. Gently press the cut ends of one of the candy halves against the cone to stick the handle in place. You can use some more decorator’s icing ti hold it in place if needed.
- Fill the cup with a few candies or other snacks, and it’s teatime!
