Baking in the kitchen is a great way to make delicious memories and have fun! Use this fun cupcake recipe as a yummy treat and a fun craft for the kids!

Butterfly Cupcakes

My boys are always excited about cupcake desserts, which they can easily be a part of as well. All they have to do is decorate – and eat!

You could make this a fun dessert to create as a family or have them ready and waiting for the kids. I also think these would be super cute to have at a birthday party for the kids to create and make independently.

This means that you would need to have the ingredients on hand – and let the kids get creative with making their butterflies on top!

What is the best way to store decorated cupcakes?

Have you ever spent hours decorating cupcakes with intricate designs, only to find they lost their beauty the following day? It’s a heartbreaking experience that many bakers have gone through. However, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered!

One of the best ways to store decorated cupcakes is in an airtight container. This ensures that the cupcakes stay fresh and delicious for extended periods.

It also helps keep the decorations intact and prevents external moisture from seeping in.

Whether you’re storing cupcakes for a special occasion or for personal enjoyment, this little trick will make a big difference!

What is the difference between fruit preserve and jam?

Have you ever wondered what separates fruit preserves from jam? While they are both delicious spreads made from fruit and sugar, there is a technical difference between them.

Fruit preserve typically contains larger chunks or pieces of fruit with a softer texture and a thinner consistency. Jam, on the other hand, tends to be smoother and more even in texture, with the fruit being crushed or mashed.

So next time you spread a sweet, fruity condiment on your toast, you’ll know whether it’s a preserve or a jam!

These look so cute. I am going to give these a try. I suppose you could vary the pudding to all sorts of flavors. I love adding fun to everyday occasions and these would do it.
