My amazing cousisn made these Gnomes for a party recently. What says spring better than a sweet, jovial, sometimes mischievous Gnome?
Her daughter made the background "villiage" using heavy paper and crayons. Very fun.
So, here's how to make your own Gnomes at home:You'll need:
Sugar cones, icing, twizzlers in various colors, jelly belly jelly beans, mini chocolate chips and 2 sizes of cupcakes (mini and regular), white chocolate discs for melting, colored sugar.
For the hats: cover the sugar cone in white chocolate and roll in colored sugar.
The body: a mini cupcake set upside-down on top of the regular cupcake.
The arms: twizzlers the the end clipped enough to jam a jelly belly "hand".
The face: 2 mini chocolate chips for eyes and a jelly belly for the nose.
Lots of icing piped all over for the beard and hair.
I especially liked the tiny mushrooms sprinkled on the tray ( made from gum drops and tiny cake/cookie decorative balls). The green "grass" is colored shreaded coconut.
They tasted good too!
