LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
Cupcake Toppers
A fun addition to a yummy cupcake treat is an Olympic-inspired cupcake topper! It’s fun, easy and can be created out of everyday household items. First step is to whip up a batch of cupcakes in the flavor of your choice. Frost the cupcakes with a vanilla icing and dust the surface with red and blue sprinkles to show some USA spirit. Once the cupcakes are prepared, set them aside and log onto your computer. Look for the Olympic rings or any other cute Olympic pictures and print them out to be about 4”x4”. Once the pictures are printed, take a pair of scissors and cut the pictures into circles. Grab a popsicle stick and use glue to attach the stick to the paper circle. Once the toppers are all created stick them in the top of your cupcakes and enjoy your sugary and festive dessert!
Everyone’s a Winner
Everyone should have a souvenir to remember the 2012 Olympics! This project helps draw your guests in and allows them to immerse themselves in the festivities. To get started, roll out a piece of modeling clay. Use the top of a cup as a stencil to create the perfect round medal. After the medal shape has been cut out, use a dulled sharpened pencil to create the symbolic Olympic rings. Make sure to press lightly so that the drawing does not create a hole in the clay allowing you to see through it. Below the rings, write London 2012. Create a hole at the top of the circle that is big enough for you to string ribbon through. Take your own personal spin on the artistic element to this project and add your own touches. Once your artwork is complete, follow the instructions on the package for your clay on how to bake it. After the clay is hardened use gold metallic paint to cover the surface. String through red, white and blue ribbon through the hole and your medal is ready to be worn!
Enjoy these fun and festive Olympic ideas for your party! Go USA!
Always,
