Iced Biscuits Decorated With Sweets - A Great Activity For Kids !

I decorated these biscuits with face and insect/bug designs, but you could create anything that takes your fancy !

This is not so much a recipe as an idea, because you really can let your creative streak run wild with this one ! Kids absolutely love both making and eating these, and it’s easy for very young children to participate, too.

I made these for my daughter’s 4th birthday party last year, and they were a hit. I used Marie Biscuits (which are like a plain tea biscuit) but you could use any similar round, plain biscuit as your base.

Firstly, I made a large bowl of fairly stiff icing (frosting) with icing sugar and water, then split it into 2 smaller bowls and coloured the icing in one bowl with a few drops of red food colouring, and the icing in the other bowl with a few drops of blue food colouring.

I then iced the tops of each biscuit and whilst the icing was still wet, I decorated the tops with a selection of different sweets (candies) to make faces or insect/bug designs on the top. (Dog and cat faces would also work well).

I bought a selection of sweets – whatever I could find in our shops here - which included jelly sweets in different sizes, chocolate candies, sour worms, liquorice and marshmallows. Some I cut into shapes or different sizes, but most I used whole.

These are so simple to make and would go down well not only at a child’s birthday party, but also at a school fete or even as a basic school or extra mural cooking activity. You could also include this as an activity at your child’s next birthday party – set up a table with pre-iced biscuits and bowls of different sweets, and let each child decorate (& eat !) his/her own biscuit.

RACHEL I know, it's just as much fun for us adults as it is for the kids to decorate something like this ;)


Comments:

They are the cutest things ever!


Comments:

NANCY they're fun to make too ;)


Comments:

Definitely a great idea, I always get the kids to help me decorate cakes, biscuits... so they would love doing that and eating them as they go along, hehehehehe!!
Thanks again for a lovely idea.

FLO it's great for keeping the kids busy on a rainy day, too ;)


Comments:

Can you imagine the mess letting a group of kids loose with bowls of icing and sweets! Maybe for smaller groups ie one or two?! it is a great raily day idea.

THese look lovely, I love getting kids involved in baking and decorating. We used a great book when in Africa for inspiration - Jane Asher's Children's Parties - each year was covered from 1-13 and easter, hallowe'en and Christmas. so we had a lot of fun there, themed parties like pirates, sport, and I used paper bags and crayons to get the kids decorating their own party bags, great fun.

What a beautiful, creative project, Lynda! Thanks for sharing your directions.


Comments:

Those are so cute...children would love those!!
When my children were small(they are 29 and 37) I used to do a great deal of baking and they loved to help and eat as well...it wasn't until they stopped eating and I was the one eating all the goodies that I stopped baking... :0)
Cheers

PEGGY you're right, it would make a HUGE mess with icing sugar etc just EVERYWHERE ;)

DEBBIES DOODLE, yes you're right - cookies are to you, what biscuits are to us. I WISH I could say that everything on my blog was calorie free - wouldn't that be wonderful ?!

CATHERINE birthday parties here are fun affairs where everyone makes their own stuff (decorations, cakes etc) from scratch still. No themed parties, entertainers being paid to come in etc - usually held out at a dam or river or someone's home and not much emphasis on who gives the best presents, what everyone is wearing etc etc - just good, old fashioned fun & games much as I remember parties as a child growing up :)

JOYCE thank you, & it's a pleasure :)

AZURE ISLANDS DESIGNS lol re. you still baking once the kids stopped eating ! I think we are all guilty of that as some stage ?!?

How cute! This brings back memories of decorating treats with my mom when I was little. Can't wait to do this with Avery! I think we used the same napkins for her birthday :)
