There is no shortage of teacups at the Mad Hatter’s unbirthday party. In fact, the cups rotate around the table so quickly Alice never gets so much as a sip of tea. Made from ice cream cones and cookies, these edible cup-and-saucer treat holders are a cinch to assemble and will ensure that each guest at your child’s tea party gets his or her fill.
Edible Teacups
Ingredients
- Cup-style wafer ice cream cone
- Round sugar or shortbread cookie
- Decorator’s icing
- 2 gummy rings candies
- Assorted candies, popcorn, or trail mix to fill the teacup
Directions
-
Use a serrated knife to carefully cut the cup portion of the ice cream cone from the handle (an adult’s job). Discard the handle and set the cup aside for now.
-
Place a gummy ring candy on the center of the cookie, using decorator’s icing to “glue” it in place.
-
Set the ice cream cone cup on top of the gummy ring. Again, use a thin line of decorator’s icing to hold the cone in place, if needed.
-
For a teacup handle, slice the second gummy ring in half. Gently press the cut ends of one of the candy halves against the cone to stick the handle in place.
-
Fill the cup with a few candies or other snacks, and it’s teatime!
