♥ Minion Cupcakes!! Banana! Cupcakes! ♥

Hi friends, hope you all have had a nice day.
The kids made cupcakes with a special tribute to the minions. They adore minions and wanted to make banana cupcakes since the minions love bananas.




So here is the recipe we used.

Minion Cupcakes Recipe

100gm Butter
185gm Castor Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
2 Eggs
200gm Self Raising Flour
1/2 Cup of Milk (Standard or Lite)
1 ripe banana

Prepare the cupcake tins with cupcake liners. Make sure the butter is soft by either leaving out of the fridge until it's soft or putting it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until it's soft.
Turn the oven on Bake and at 200 degrees Celsius. 

1. Mix the butter, castor sugar and vanilla essence in a bowl until it's pale.
2. Add an egg in one at a time and mix until combined.
3. Add in half of the flour and mix until combined, then add half of the milk until it's combined.
Then pour the remaining flour in and mix, and then the remaining milk and mix until it's combined.
4. Mash the banana until its thick with no lumps and add it to the cupcake batter.
5. Mix until its combined.
6. Spoon the batter into the cupcake tins. Making sure not to over fill the cupcake liners.
7. Put the tins into the oven for 15-20 minutes. Or until the top of the cupcakes are golden brown, and springy when you lightly touch the tops of the cupcakes.
8. When cooked, put on to cake racks to cool.

Minion Icing Recipe

1 Cup of Icing sugar
Warm water
Food colouring (Yellow, Black) (Optional: Blue for the overalls)
Toothpicks or something to aid in creating minion faces.

1. Mix together the icing sugar and about a table spoon of warm water. If the consistancy of the icing is too runny add a little more icing sugar. If it's too thick add a little more warm water.
2. Divide into 3 seperate bowls.
3. Add yellow to one mixture, black to one mixture and leave the last mixture white.
If you chose to have blue make sure you divide the mixture into 4 and have one for the blue coloring.
4. Now you are ready to start icing your cupcakes!

Icing Minion Cupcakes

1. Cover the whole cupcake top with yellow icing.
(You may want to wait for a minute or two to let the icing set for a bit before continuing.)
2. Next using a toothpick get some white icing and drip it near the top side of the cupcake, you'll be making the eyes. Make sure you have enough to make the eyes. Make them round and big. But not to big otherwise you wont be able to fit in the frames of their goggles. (Or you could have a one eyed minion)
3. Now using Black icing, add small pupils for the eyes. and go around the whites of the eyes with black and add some straps on the side of the goggles that go to the edge of the cupcake.
4. Next is adding a mouth using the white icing again, make a little oval shape under the goggles.
5. Using black icing, make a mouth shape making sure to outline the mouth. You can make your minion smile or frown. What ever you like.
6. Now finish off with the hair or not you may want this minion cupcake to have no hair at all.

Yay! All finished. All that's left to do is to eat it! Yummy!

Here's the video!

Hope you will make some minion cupcakes! Bye!!

NEW Play Doh Challenge Guessing Game!!!!

Hi friends!
Josef, Layla, Bella and Noah all played a Play-doh game today. It was fun and exciting.
Here's how to play.

This game is good for 2 or more players.
You'll need:
Play-doh for each person.
Bowl or hat
Pieces of small paper with things, characters, food, animals, objects written on them.

Fold all the pieces of paper in half. Then put them into the bowl or hat.
Each kid gets a turn taking out a piece of paper, and then uses the Play-doh to make what was written on the piece of paper. Usually 30-40 seconds to mold the Play-doh.

After time is called, everyone else has a turn guessing what was molded out of the Play-doh.
Whoever guesses correct gets 1 point.
The game ends when everyone has had a turn. The player with the most points wins!

In this video it's the very first round.
I hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
Have a great day!

This game can be played by different ages, be used in groups too!

Lolly Cake Making Madness!! Yummy No Bake Easy for kids Lolly Cake ♥

Hi friends, the kids over at Collector By 7 made Lolly Cake, an easy to make no bake cake that kids can make.
So here is the video of the kids making it:

Lolly Cake has to be made a least 2 hours in advance of using the cake.

Great for kids parties or just as snack. You can slice them thinner or thicker. We love lolly cake, but will only have 1 slice each. It's sweet very much like a slice. If you roll it in dried coconut it will taste even better!
Who would have thought using a few ingredients would make such a delicious cake!




Here is the recipe how to make it.

Lolly Cake.
Ingredients:
1 Packet of Malt Biscuits.
1 Packet of Eskimo lollies or Fruit Puffs. You could use similar lollies to these as well!)
1/2 Can of Condensed Milk about 200g.
120gm of Butter.
Optional - 1 Cup of Dessicated Coconut.

1. Crush the biscuits, in a zip lock bag. Using the back of a spoon start crushing. You could also chuck the biscuits into a food processor to crush them.

2. Chop up the lollies into bits, we cut them up into 3. Break them with your hands is an easy option too!

3. In a different bowl, pour in condensed milk and put the butter into the bowl and zap in the microwave for 30 seconds each time until the butter has melted. Don't worry if there are lumps from the butter, just give it a stir and the butter will eventually melt.

4. Pour the biscuits and lollies into the butter mixture and mix well. Making sure you get all the crumbs at the bottom of the bowl!

5. When everything is mixed, squash it all onto baking paper on a plate or a flat dish and mould into a roll or a cake what ever shape you want. (At this point if you wanted to roll it in dried coconut, do that now.)

6. Cover with baking paper, and put it in the fridge for 2 hours or until it has set. You can check to see if it's hard to cut.

7. Once it's set you can take it out of the fridge, and slice it up to how ever thick you want.

That's it! Easy and simple!

Hope you enjoyed this recipe. Have a great day. Why not stop by our YouTube Channel Collector By 7 to check out more videos that we have.
