You just use a regular cupcakes recipe and only fill the cones up to the top of the narrow part since they rise. You may need to adjust bake time a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2256005 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 21:07:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2256005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: I kinda want to make this for my daughter's first birthday party; for the guests. So you bake cupcakes normally and just stick a ice cream cone on top? You bake the cone too? I assume I can use any cupcake recipe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255989 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:56:25 +0000 regberadaisy 2255989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year was all about Curious George so I made banana "cupcakes" (really just muffins) with a honey Greek yogurt frosting. I got curious George rings and used them as cupcake toppers. :happy: They were a big hit!</p> <p>[attach=1325/15/nsn1e1.600x595.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255979 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:40:47 +0000 kiddosc 2255979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love doing the cupcakes in ice cream cones. I think they're easier for the little kids to eat than regular cupcakes. We didn't have rules about store bought only though, just no peanuts. </p> [attach=1439/15/nsn0nz.600x600.IMG_20150518_210700.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255978 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:39:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 2255978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well his daycare teacher told me that whatever I brought had to be nut-free and store-bought. I ended up picking up a couple of boxes of Rice Krispies Treats. Hopefully the kids like them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255977 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:33:56 +0000 misolee 2255977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last yr, in my older 3s, young 4s preschool class, we had 15 birthdays and all but one brought cupcakes. Didn't matter if it came from the grocery store or a fancy bakery, 95% of it went uneaten. The kids would lick the frosting a couple of times, attempt to take a bite but just make a big mess and eventually throw it away. I hated to see all of it go to waste so we kept telling parents that cupcakes are not a good option but no one listened.</p> <p> One parent brought a cookie cake and that was a huge hit. Also, less of a mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255962 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 20:00:43 +0000 californiadreams 2255962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did cupcakes. Got them from a but free bakery. His name was on half and the #2 was on half. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255630 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:09:57 +0000 Pancakes 2255630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: My DD picked mini cupcakes for her first preschool birthday, and this year she picked Dunkin' Donuts Munchkins :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255595 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:47:12 +0000 littlejoy 2255595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just bring mini cupcakes. We have a GF/vegan bakery steps from our house, so I pick a peanut free option, and I know everyone can eat it.</p> <p>Another mom bought ice cream sandwiches, which the kids loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255555 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:24:41 +0000 lady grey 2255555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: what a cute idea! I've never seen those before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255545 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:21:52 +0000 mauxie 2255545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would totally take sweet treats if I could! Cute rice krispies or cupcakes sound great!</p> <p>I cheated one time for LOs 2nd bday and bought the pre-made rice krispies (the packaged stuff), stuck in a Popsicle stick and drizzled them with chocolate and sprinkles. They were super cute and bakery worthy hahha. </p> <p>Our daycare doesn't allow sweets so parents will bring in fruit (has to be store-bought, not cut up until you're there). I've seen some parents bring in melons.. or strawberries and blueberries in cute cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255536 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:17:01 +0000 MaisyMay 2255536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will do mini cupcakes with tiara sugar decorations for LO. She is on a big process kick, and since she loves helping me bake, we will make the cupcakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255527 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:13:23 +0000 MamaG 2255527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've done cupcakes and yogurt in the tubes (frozen). Our daycare requires an ingredient listing so essentially store bought. I'm thinking about doing a giant cookie cake this year. But I really like the rice krispie treat idea too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255446 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 12:26:49 +0000 ladybee 2255446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a teacher (K-4) I HATE when kids bring in cupcakes. They don't know how to eat them, they don't stay over the table, and it's just a huge mess. Cookies, rice krispie treats, brownies, etc. I love. But I hate, hate, hate cupcakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255445 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 12:26:09 +0000 lemong 2255445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Popsicles are always a hit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255442 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 12:21:15 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2255442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: LO LOVES Rice Krispie Treats!

I guess it's fine to sprinkle the tops with sprinkles or something but they hate dealing with the mess of chocolate and frosting and it makes the kids berserk especially if juice comes with it or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255360 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 11:25:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2255360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have done cupcakes, cookies, and water ice (not at the same time) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255356 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 11:23:11 +0000 yin 2255356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought in vegan mini cupcakes (food allergies) and juice for LO's birthday.

LO and I went on a special trip so she could pick them out the night before (she picked hello kitty and Spider-Man I think). This was for her third birthday too. I know some of the summer birthdays have done Popsicles or frozen treats so that might be good if it is hot where you are? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255294 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 10:29:37 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2255294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might require a little work to find but my mom found these really cute number cookie cutters and makes simple butter cookies for the kids' birthday parties. They're really cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/birthday-treats-for-daycare-1#post-2255277 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 10:15:09 +0000 hellobeeboston 2255277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have just done cupcakes (nut free) and decorated the tops, last year I put "2s" on them all and the kids always love cupcakes!

(WHAT???)</p> <p>I'm going to double-check with daycare to see what they will allow (I know things like no peanuts), but I'd like to bring a treat for his class on Friday, and was curious what other people brought as a treat. Especially if you have pictures! :silly: </p>
