How to make Edible Cups & Mugs with Lollies
I saw these demonstrated at one of the first Guild Meetings I ever went to. Great for a kids party, cupcake toppers, or just for fun if you don’t feel like getting the modelling fondant out.
This would also be something fun and easy to do with the kids, and really not too messy! They can eat any mess!

Start with some fun ingredients. Tic toc biscuits, marshmallows, different shapes for a cup or a mug, freckles (optional), lifesavers (I bought the wrong ones, I was after the more solid colours, peppermints work fine too!) In addition some royal icing, a touch of chocolate or cocoa and a pair of scissors! |
|
|
If you use the cup shaped ones you may need to cut the bottom off to get a level base or it won’t stay on the biccie! |
|
|
Add some royal icing on the bottom and stick on the biscuit. |
|
|
If you use the normal marshmallows they already have a flat base, so just add a blob of royal and place on biscuit. |
|
|
Cut a lifesaver in half, put a little bit of royal on each end. |
|
|
Place up against the marshmallow to create the handle. |
|
|
You can top with a freckle or a little bit of royal with a sprinkling of chocolate. You could even pipe on a swirl for cream and make it a hot chocolate. You can go with one colour scheme for the cup and saucer or mix and match, you are only limited by your imagination. |

What a great idea! Thank you Nicole – my daughter’s 6th birthday is coming up so will try them at her party!
Hi Nicole – would using frosting (the Betty Crocker one) be okay to use as the “glue”?? I would like to make them today using the frosting for a party on Sunday – will they keep and the frosting not go off if I store them air tight till Sunday??? I have never used royal icing before nor made it and don’t want to use my daughter’s party as a practice in case I don’t get it right. Jody

@rossjjr, The betty crockers won’t go off but it doesn’t really set. Take some icing sugar and add a tablespoon or two of water, keep mixing till you have a gluey consistency adding icing sugar and/or water as needed, use that as glue. Keep well covered when not in use. You don’t have to worry about egg whites and it should set up enough to work better as glue. HTH. Cheers
