How To Make Mad Hatter Cupcakes

The Hatter and the March Hare are always having a tea party because Hatter is stuck at 6:00 forever. This is in retaliation for murdering the time. At any given moment everyone switches places at the table. While switching places they ask unanswerable riddles and recite nonsensical poetry. It really is a mad tea party.

To join in the fun of the tea party you’ll learn how to make Mad Hatter cupcakes. These cupcakes can also be used to celebrate Fourth of July or any American Holiday.

Mad Hatter Cupcakes By Cindy Littlefield

You’ll need:

* Mad Hatter Cupcakes Template
* Batch of cupcakes baked in colorful paper cupcake liners
* Small red candies (such as M&M’s Minis)
* Scissors
* Scrapbook paper (red, white and blue) Or (hot pink, orange, lime and turquoise)
* Glue dots
* Sticker numbers (optional)
* Marker

Instructions:

1. Cut off the tops of the cupcakes level with the upper edge of the paper cupcake liners so that they better resemble the flat top of the Mad Hatter’s hat.

2. Frost the trimmed cupcakes and press red candies in place to create stripes.

3. Print the template and use it as a pattern for cutting out a set of brim and hatband pieces for each cupcake from the specified colors of paper. Glue the top brim circle atop the bottom brim circle and then curl the outer edge of the paper slightly with your fingers to give the brim a little more dimension.

4. Now shape the red hatband piece into a ring and secure it with a glue dot. Ideally, the ring should be just wide enough for the bottom of the cupcake to fit into without actually allowing it to rest on the tabletop. This will create the illusion that the hat is taller than it actually is.

5. When you know the ring is the right size, remove it from the cupcake and stick it to the brim using a couple of glue dots.

6. Set the cupcake in place.

7. For the finishing touch, use number stickers or a marker and a small square of white paper to make a 7/4 date tag or the original 10/6 (shillings/pence) tag used in the book — tuck the bottom of the tag behind the hatband.

Now, you will soon have a wonderful batch of Mad Hatter cupcakes for your tea party.
