To make a Tea cake Christmas pudding like this:
chocolate teacakes
white icing (or melted white chocolate)
red icing balls (or red icing pens/red sweets)
green icing leaves (green icing pens)
They are very simple to make:
Take a tea cake and unwrap it
carefully. Place the foil wrap pattern
side up on the plate and place your tea cake back on it. Place a spoonful of thick white icing on the
top of the tea cake and let it drip down the sides. Add 2 of the red icing berries and a couple
of the green icing trees as holly leaves in the middle.
Another thing we are going to be doing is decorating gingerbread men:
You will need the following:
Gingerbread men (pre-made)
white icing
chocolate buttons
decorations for face - sweets/icing pens etc
Take a gingerbread man and
some icing and place on top. You can use
the icing balls (assorted colours) as eyes, mouth and nose or choc drops
(baking). you can use the icing balls or chocolate buttons as buttons.
The third thing on our decorating list is gingerbread reindeers:
gingrebread men (pre made)
icing pens
red icing balls
green icing leaves
chocolate button for nose
Take a gingerbread man and
turn it upside down so that the head is facing downwards. Using small amounts of icing draw antlers in
the "leg area", turn the "arms" into ears and then add a
face using icing balls or choc drops (baking) and a chocolate button for a nose.
The last thing on our decorating list is melted snowman biscuits:
You will need the following:
digestive biscuits
thick white icing
icing pens
white marshmallows
Take 1 digestive biscuit,
place a blob of white icing on top of it, stick a white marshmallow at one
side. Add 3 buttons (icing balls
(assorted colours) infront of the head.
You can either use the icing balls or icing pens to make the eyes and
nose and mouth. Scarf is optional as are
the arms.
Hopefully it should be a good fun night for them all and they make some lovely snacks to take home. The ideas may also give parents ideas as what to do over the holidays.
