Ingredients
- 9 cupcakes and white frosting
- 10 small olive cans (about 2.5 oz. each) - make sure they are stackable
- 9 small paper doilies
- 4 heets blue card stock, 8.5x11
- Blue glitter
- white glue
- paint brush
- Cookie sheet for glitter spills
- Printable cupcake wrappers, cut to size
Instructions
- You will need 9 cupcakes and white frosting for this project; you can buy them pre-made or make your own.
- Cut the cardstock into ten 1.5x8.5 inch strips. Assemble your olive cans, card stock strips, glitter, glue and paintbrush.
- Shake glitter onto the glue to coat the strip. Shake off excess glitter. Allow strips to dry.
- Use a hot glue gun to attach the glittered strips of cardstock to the sides of the olive cans.
- Alternatively, you could spray paint the cans with silver paint, or cover the cans with decorative patterned cardstock.
- Cut out the printable cupcake wrappers-- you will need 9. There are two patterns to choose from in this post:Printable Hanukkah Zigzag Cupcake Wrappers or Printable Hanukkah Kids Cupcake Wrappers.
- To attach the printable cupcake wrappers, gently wrap the paper around the base of the cupcake and secure it with a piece of clear tape.
- Frost your cupcakes with white frosting. You can just spread the frosting on, or you can do a more decorative piping. To frost them the way I did, place a frosting tip in a piping bag (I used a size 32 Wilton star tip), then place the bag in a glass. Use a spatula to scoop the frosting into the piping bag.
- Squeeze the bag gently to push the frosting down to the bottom of the bag. Start piping the frosting at the edge of each cupcake...
- and work your way in a spiral motion inward towards the center of the cupcake.
- Finish the piping by pressing a dollop of frosting into the center and pulling straight upward.
- Sprinkle each cupcake with blue sugar, if desired.
- Stack two of the decorative olive cans, one on top of the other, in the center of your cupcake menorah. This represents your "shamash" (the candle that lights the other candles).
- Set up four olive cans on either side of the "shamash," spaced evenly with room for a frosted cupcake on top. You will now have stands for 9 cupcakes.
- Place a frosted, decorated cupcake on the top of each can (including the center stand with two cans).
- Place a candle in the center of each cupcake, and voila! A beautiful cupcake menorah. After the candles burn out, you can enjoy the cupcakes. Chag Sameach! :)
