Parshas Vaera


In parsha Vaera, the makkos begin. Kids love learning about the makkos from parsha and there is just so so much we can do.
My kids absolutely love these frogs.  They are just plain fun and oh so cute!

And the best part is that they are so easy to make.


To make frogs....

Make a batch of cup cakes,  once ready and cooled place on the plate you are going to serve it in (once its iced it will be hard to move without cracking the icing).


using a spoon cover the cupcake with green royal icing (recipe bellow).  start with holding it in the middle and icing the sides.  


Place back on plate and then cover the top of the cupcake.


now allow the icing to harden over night. (place in oven or fridge)



 Stick chocolate chips onto white chocolate discs with chocolate spread or some melted chocolate.  If you cant find pareve white chocolate dics, melt white chocolate and using a plastic bag with the tip cut off, pipe into discs onto parchment paper and let it harden.

Using a Kebab stick poke to holes to make nostrils and using a sharp knife cut gently into the cup cake to make a mouth.










Royal Icing

Ingredients:

2 egg whites
2 tsp lemon juice
3 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar) sifted
green food colouring

Method:

with a hand whisk whisk the egg whites and lemon juice just to get a bit of air in it.  Pour mixture into a mix master with the paddle attachment (k beater).  add the sugar one cup at a time and beat on low.  You dont want it to high as it will get too much air in it and form air bubbles.  when all the sugar is mixed in, add the green food colouring and mix in with a spoon.  The amount of food colouring you use will depend on how dark or light you want the frogs to be.
