A reader has recently asked for some help with a Circus themed party, so here it is...
An old Donna Hay magazine, which I got the idea for clown cupcakes for Charlie's 4th Birthday party.
I didn't go to this extreme, but the design of the cake looks quite simple but very effective. The flags here look like they have been made from icing, I don't think I'd be that game, I'd simply make some from paper, stick the flag shapes onto a skewer and insert it into the middle of the cake.
Here are the instructions:
The cupcakes were really quite simple, some coloured popcorn for hair, a jaffa for a nose, snake for a smile and some licorice strips for the eyes!
Decorations included plenty of spots and stripes and loads of bunting.
The other nice idea I have seen is some lolly bags made from red and white striped "popcorn style" bags.
I hope this all helps you Fleur, good luck!!!
