DIY FUN // ICE CREAM CUPCAKES!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:


STEP BY STEP PICTORIAL:


// STEP ONE - FOUR //

Beat cake mix and pour about 1/4" of batter into cupcake foils

 // STEP FIVE //

Cook the batter at the temperature designated on the cake mix box,
but only cook the cake for about 10 minutes! 
This will give a thicker, cakey consistency, and if you bake it 
for the whole time it will rise too high!

Scoop your ice cream onto the tops of the cupcake.
Do this while the pan is still warm so that the ice cream will melt a bit,
and spread it across the cupcake top so it will form a cupcake shape 
when frozen.

// STEP SIX //

Put your cupcakes into the freezer for about 2 hours,
or until the ice cream and the cake are hard.
Don some good ol' whipped cream and toss sprinkles on top!

ENJOY!

DIY FUN! // CUPCAKE SUNGLASSES

// INFO ON SUNGLASSES //

[we suggest wayfarer style and the "soft touch" kind, which allows the paint to adhere better. 
here's a LINK to where you can get them, or to better know what we are talking about]

// STEP ONE //

begin to apply thin, rectangular, and 
short lines (like sprinkles) across the frame of the glasses. 

for those shaky in their nail polish brush skills:
if you make a mistake, no worries!
 grab the nail polish remover you have nearby and quickly wipe it off. 

// STEP TWO //

don't forget to do the sides of your glasses too!

wait at least 10 minutes for the nail polish to dry. 
we just put it aside for a day to ensure it would be perfect.
flip out your new, sweet stunna' shades and storm the streets!

// SUGGESTIONS//

-choose a pastel colored frame for your glasses in colors like pink, blue, or white
-you can make it multi-colored sprinkles or just one single color--
or try different shapes and designs.
