Instructions
The first thing I did was to mix up some plaster of paris. I followed the directions on the box, but BEWARE: This stuff sets up really fast!
I poured the plaster of paris into my cupcake liners and let it dry.
When my cupcakes were dry, I peeled the cupcake liner off the plaster of paris and painted the bottom and sides of my cupcakes.
While that was drying, I made some modeling clay. You can either buy your modeling clay or make it. I used this great modeling clay recipe here: www.familyeducation.com/fun/clay/homemade-clay-recipes
I shaped my clay into a swirl and let it dry. Make sure your swirl fits on top of your cupcake!!
When my cupcakes and modeling clay were dry, I hot glued the swirl onto the top of the cupcake.
And there you have it! Super easy and fun cupcakes!
