Are you planning to organize a tea party like the Mad Hatter? Then these cute, edible tea cups are a great match! These treats are ideal for all kinds of party themes, such as a princess party, high tea or other fantasy party. They're easy to make if you can find the ingredients, and when your kids are old enough to help you, you'll be ready to put together these edible wonders in no time.

Ingredients

• The quantities depend on the number of teacups you want to make:
• Ice cream cones, round; choose a variety with a wide opening - depending on the brand, they can also be called cups or sugar cones
• Smooth, round biscuits; shortbread cookies often have a raised edge, making them perfect as an edible saucer
• Ring-shaped soft candies, such as Haribo apple rings
• Glaze
• Treats to put in the edible tea cups, such as fudge, chocolates, nuts, etc.

To step

1. Remove the top of the ice cream cone. To do this, put down the cone and carefully "saw" it in half with a serrated knife.
   • Sometimes a cone will break when you do this, so don't worry!
2. Stick the ring-shaped candy on the round cookie with icing.
3. Stick the top of the ice cream cone on the ring-shaped candy with icing.
4. Make an earpiece by cutting a ring-shaped candy in half. Stick it to the side of the cup with icing.
5. Let it dry. When you are satisfied and the cup is dry, fill it with candies, chocolate or other treats.
6. Repeat this as often as needed. If you have to make many, you can set up a production line with helpers. One person sticks the candies on the cookies, the next cuts the ice cream cones, another sticks the ears, etc. This is a fun way to prepare for the party together, and you'll finish making all the edible teacups.
7. Serve. Choose from one of the following cup placement suggestions, or come up with your own:
   • Put all the teacups on a tray on which you have placed a nice cloth, and put it on the party table.
   • Put each teacup on a real saucer and serve them individually.
   • Place each teacup on a paper mat so that everyone can grab one from the table.
   • Place all the teacups on a cake bowl.

Tips

• To make the teacups appear to have coffee or hot chocolate, add a scoop of chocolate or mocha ice cream before serving it to guests.
• If you make your own round cookies, make sure they are smooth and round or else the effect of the "saucer" will be ruined.
• When cutting the soft candies, dipping the knife in hot water can keep it from getting too sticky. Put the candies in the fridge beforehand, because warm candies are softer and stickier.

Necessities

• Serrated knife (bread knife)
• Cutting board and sharp knife to cut the candies
