Iced Biscuits Decorated With Sweets - A Great Activity For Kids !
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. Comments: Those are pretty :) I might have to do something like that with my Brownies Comments: 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!! Comments: 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. Comments: Lynda,, Comments: 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. Comments: What a beautiful, creative project, Lynda! Thanks for sharing your directions. Comments: Those are so cute...children would love those!! Comments: PEGGY you're right, it would make a HUGE mess with icing sugar etc just EVERYWHERE ;) Comments: 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 :) Comments: How cute! This brings back memories of decorating treats with my mom when I was little.
