We used up as many of the Swizzels sweets as we could.
We started planning our favourite sweet and wrote it down, then planned our recipe.
Rainbow Drop Cakes
Recipe:-
4oz margarine
4oz caster sugar
4oz self-raising flour
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tsp water
A packet of Swizzels of Rainbow Drops
Frosting if required
Method:-
Add in the packet of Rainbow Drops and stir.
Put your cake batter into cupcake cases. And place in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
They turned out good. We were a bit sad that the colour didn’t come through as well as we’d thought.
Since Swizzels Parma Violets were my favourite, we thought we’d make a pinata one with them. So I cut out a small portion of the middle of the cake. Filled it with Parma Violets and placed the spare bit of cake back on before icing it.
You can see the Parma Violets in the middle. It was tasty. I wish I’d make a few more of these. Next time, definitely.
We cheated and used pre-made icing. There is one thing I cannot do and it is the swirly, pretty icing. To top them off we added a Swizzels Love Heart sweet.
Don’t they look pretty and we truly loved them. What do you think? What Swizzels sweets would you use? I do love the emoji love hearts, cute aren’t they?
Why not head over to the Swizzels website and enter their fantastic Sweetest Invention Competition celebrating their 90 years, which is incredible. It is simple to enter, have a look at their gallery of sweets and come up with some new and fun ideas. Enter on the website on social media channels using #MySwizzels I’d love to know what you would come up with. Mine would have to be mixing Squashies with Parma Violets, how amazing would they be? Squashie Violets? I would love love love these made in real life, fingers crossed for me!
Their four favourite creations will be shortlisted and put to the public vote. The winner will be invited for a super awesome VIP tour of the Swizzels factory in Derbyshire to see their creation come to life. How cool would that be? What are you waiting for, head over and submit your invention? And let me know too or if you have any ideas for our next baking sensation.
Disclaimer:- We were sent some Swizzels sweets and items, but we came up with our ideas and our thoughts and opinions are my own.
What a lovely idea! They looks so lovely! To be honest, I wont never bother to make icing, ready made is the best!
Aww now this is fun and something I can do with both my granddaughter and Nephew
