My eldest daughter entered these into the fair a couple of years ago. The idea originally came from Family Fun Magazine. You can use your favorite cupcake and icing recipe! This was a very fun project for a Mom (or Dad) and a young child! Ingredients:
circus peanuts |
1 square caramel candy |
yellow decorator's icing |
red decorator's icing |
cut-up green gumdrop (optional) |
1 baked cupcake |
2 tablespoons white icing |
1 teaspoon small mixed color nonpareils |
Directions:
1. For the bun, cut a wedge in the circus peanut. If the caramel is soft, roll it into a hot dog shape. If it's hard, first soften it in your hand or in a microwave for a few seconds. Caution: the caramel can get hot!
2. Place the hot dog in the bun and squirt on a squiggly line of yellow and/or red icing.
3. Garnish with green gumdrop relish, if you wish.
4. Frost the cupcake with white icing, place the hot dog on top, and sprinkle on nonpareils.
