'Fire Cupcakes'

Junior 2 decorated pinkish red cupcakes as one of the activities under the topic of 'FIRE'.   The children were supposed to pipe the icing into peaks to look like the flames rising up and colourful sprinkles on top to denote the colours of the flames.  It was not an easy feat for the children to pipe the icing into peaks on the cupcakes, but they did their best and the cakes tasted great despite the look!
The cupcakes were baked in advanced.
