FINGERPRINT CUPCAKES

 

Congratulations on Completing Detective WhaddaWeek!

 

We’ve made fingerprint cupcakes to celebrate.

 

Bake whatever kind of cupcake you like, and frost them with either a white-colored or chocolate frosting.

 

To make the fingerprints you will need either ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, or cocoa powder to use on white frosting, or powdered sugar to use with dark frosting.  (We’ve used cinnamon on a cream cheese frosting.)  

 

Sprinkle a little of the spice, cocoa powder, or sugar on a piece of paper, and spread it so that it forms a fine film.

 

Slightly dampen your finger with water and mostly dry it.  Then roll the finger in the spice or sugar on the plate, shake off any excess, and then press it gently on the top of a frosted cupcake.

 

There you go.  A fingerprint!

 

And CONGRATULATIONS again!
