Cupcake Kebabs

Cupcake Kebabs
Being a vegetarian, I've never appreciated the idea of a variety of meats on a stick. When I was younger my mum used to throw us the best birthday parties and a favourite party special of mine was her fruit kebabs (with a few lollies in between!). Back when backyard parties were still cool and you didn't spend more than $20 on a birthday gift. Back when it was okay to wrap crap up in newspaper, because kids were still amused by simple things. Back when donuts were hung on hills hoist and caught on the camcorder to be used and abused at 21st's. So here it is, don't panic though. I've included a cow for you meat lovers.

Prep List
Cupcakes
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 x 59g egg, lightly whisked
1/2 cup milk
40g butter, melted
1/2 cup pure icing sugar, sifted
1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
7 bamboo skewers

Action
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla, egg, milk and butter until consistent.
  • Place a tablespoon of cupcake mixture into each well of a greased mini cupcake pan. Bake at 170 for 12 minutes. Cool.
  • Roll half of the cupcakes in icing sugar and the other half in cocoa.
  • Poke the skewer through the centres of each of the cupcakes until each skewer has three cupcakes on it.
  • Chew.
