Teacher Appreciation Week Ideas

This week is teacher appreciation week and I thought I would share what I made. These are just some ideas that you can make for Teachers Day or Back to School. They are really cute and fun to make so you can show the teacher in your life how much you appreciate them.

Apple Cupcakes:

Apple Cake Pops:

Beach Party Cupcakes

What you need:
Cake Mix
Brown Sugar
Frosting ( I use pastry pride whipped topping)
Mini Teddy Grahams
Life Saver Gummies
Sweet Tarts
Fruit Roll Up
Umbrella Picks
Palm Tree Picks
Blue Food Coloring

Directions:
First, I baked the cupcakes. I tried something a little different this time. I added some red velvet batter to each cupcake liner and then took a spoon and added some vanilla cake batter and placed it on top of the red velvet batter. Then, I took a toothpick and swirled them together. Then I placed them in the oven. When they were done baking I let them cool for about an hour.

Once cooled off I added some white frosting to a couple cupcakes and set them aside. I then took the remaining frosting and added some blue food coloring. I covered the rest of the cupcakes with blue frosting.

Then, I took some brown sugar and placed it on top of the white frosting cupcakes. I then placed all the cupcakes on a tray the way I wanted and began to decorate them.

To decorate the cupcakes I used the life savers as floaties, sweet tarts as beach balls, fruit roll ups as towels and float beds, and mini teddy grahams as the people. I also added some umbrella and palm tree picks to make it look more beachy.

The end result:
