Instead of a birthday cake, you can use these basic cupcakes as the cake and party activity rolled into one. Give every child a plastic spoon (or a knife, if it’s age appropriate) and place cream frosting, candies, and sprinkles in alternating plastic bowls on the table. Everyone decorates his or her own cupcake! Fun, fun, yum!
Yields 3–4 dozen
