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.
