I came up with this cute and easy dessert for our Peter Pan Movie Night. I bought a box of cupcake mix, added my favorite icing (recipe below), and topped it with “sand” and a chocolate coin!

My favorite Decorating icing
Ingredients
3/4 cup shortening1 tsp Vanilla extract
4 cups sifted powdered sugar (approximately 1 lb)
1/2 tsp Almond extract (you can substitute for other flavors)
1/4 cup water
dash of salt
Directions
Cream shortening with stand mixer. Gradually add sifted sugar, salt, and water. Add flavoring and beat at medium speed, until light and fluffy.Keep icing covered until ready to use. This icing can be stored in refrigerator, but since it’s made with stortening, it can be left at room temperature over night. Rewhip before serving.
