To Make these Cupcakes

For the cupcakes, I made chocolate cake mix.

For the flames

I purchased a bag of red,yellow, orange lollipops. We placed the lollipops into a ziplock bag and then the boys smashed them up. We sprinkled the broken lollipops onto a lined baking tray (making sure to remove the lollipop sticks) and then melted it in the oven. It took around 10 minutes at 180˚C for the broken lollipops to melt. Make sure you don’t bake then for too long as you don’t want them to burn. Take out and cool then snap into pieces.

To decorate the cupcakes

We made a simple chocolate icing which we spread onto the cupcakes, then added some chopped kit kats for the logs and then pressed in some candy flames.
