A fun project for the kids! All you need is left over cake (or you can bake up some cupcakes for the project instead), some buttercream, ganache (optional), piping bags and a 104 and 67 (or 352) piping tips. These can make for some stunning party favours or individual style cakes :) I would just make sure that your buttercream is yummy, as there is lots of it for this design haha!
