Last night was "Family Craft Night" at the Smith Household. We usually pick something crafty to do as a family once a month and last night it was "Ming Ming Cupcakes". For those of you with preschoolers, I am sure you know that Ming Ming is from the Wonder Pets TV show. For a few weeks now (seems like months) Caroline has been asking to do these cupcakes. I kept putting her off and finally gave in yesterday.
I love to decorate cakes & cupcakes however, this took my decorating skills to a new level. We printed off the directions (http://www.nickjr.com/) and headed for Wal-Mart to get our supplies. $12 later, we had our Tootsie Rolls, Starburst, Fruit by the Foot and M&M's. Yummy!!
I was able to get everything ready to go during quiet time. All the candies unwrapped, cupcakes made and iced and our Ming Ming scarf & hat templates all cut out.
Ready, Set, Decorate
Here you see our candies and what the cupcakes are supposed to look like.

Kenzie had to get in on the action too!!

We all had a blast making these cute cupcakes (it was a little harder than I thought it would be) & the girls loved playing with all the different candies and of course, eating their creations.
