With Christmas day past, you may today start thinking about how you will work your way through all the left over food that you have from Christmas day! Already I have seen ideas in our local morning newspaper and another one on morning television this morning. But these are always dealing with the savory items, such as your left over turkey, potatoes, vegetables, ham and for the Aussies, the left over prawns.
This got me thinking about the left over cupcake. What do you do with those? Though maybe no-one else has this problem?
Anyway for those of you, who like me have a stack of left over cupcakes, here is what you can do;
- Cake Pops – These are awesome, fun and make a great boxing day activity with the kids. If your left over cupcakes are frosted you will need to take off the cupcake wrapper and using a sharp knife cut the top of the cupcake off. Set your kids to crumbling the remaining cake. Then the sky is your limit!
- Cake Trifle - Depending on the flavor of your cupcakes, you can also make a cupcake trifle, again you will need to remove the papers and cut off the frosting, then using any of that left over cream, those left over berries and of course plenty of your chosen alcohol, Kahlua, Baileys or Tia Maria. Alternatively you could use your left over brandy custard!
- IceCream Bowls – Take your cupcake and cut the frosted top off, use a spoon and scoop the center out of your cupcake, then after your kids eat their greens, reward them with a cupcake cup filled with a big scoop of icecream! Top with whatever they love!
- Chocolate CheeseCake – Again chop your frosted top off and blend the cupcakes, then use the crumbs to make your own chocolate (if you have chocolate cupcakes) crumb base for your next cheesecake. Create as you would a normal cheesecake, it will be a lovely chocolate crust they were not expecting!
- Create an Upside Down Cupcake Tower – Then just top with chocolate, m&ms, cream, ice cream, and anything else you have on hand as per the Ayan n’ Mama blog! Picture shown here.
- Make Friends with your Neighbors - After all, who can resist cupcakes?
Of course, you can just eat them yourself! :)
