What You’ll Need

• 1 cup of corn starch

• 3 cups of whipped cream topping

• 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil (optional)

• pink sugar sprinkles

• small crafting pom poms

• paper cupcake liners

What You’ll Do

Begin by mixing the corn starch and whipped topping in a bowl. Mix well so that a cloud dough consistency is formed.

If the dough is too crumbly, add a tablespoon of oil and mix well. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a teaspoon of corn starch at a time until you get the firm dough you are after.

Sprinkle the surface with corn starch and roll the dough into balls.

Place each cloud dough ball into a cupcake cup liner. Gently press and flatten to fill.

Sprinkle the top of each pretend cupcake with pink sugar sprinkles and top with a crafting pom pom!
