Sweet treats

You have probably seen these babycinos at parties or in your local cafes. My kids go crazy for them so because I wanted to be a nice fun Mum we made these very sweet treats for an afternoon tea we went to recently. They were really easy to make and B was adept at the required glueing, but Little Miss just wanted to eat the freckles.

I used tick tock biscuits, marshmallows, freckles or speckles depending on where you buy them, and musks lifesavers, except for the life of me I couldn't find musk lifesavers in the supermarket so I used musk lollies instead.















I cut the musk lollies in half to make handles, using a bread knife and a sawing action.















Using white icing, B glued the handles to the marshmallows to make cups















When dry we glued the cups to the tick tock biscuits making a cup with saucer.















Lastly we added the cappuccino froth by glueing a freckle on top.















Once dry these are quite sturdy so are great to transport to parties, picnics and afternoon teas.
However B ate about six of them so I had to brush this teeth really well that night.
