Kids Get In Easter Spirit With Cupcake Decorating

Kids from all over the South Hills gathered at Friday to celebrate the Easter holiday with cupcake decorating.

A dozen cupcakes—half chocolate and half vanilla—served as each little artist's empty canvas with a table full of colorful frostings, sprinkles and candy at their disposal.

Most girls said they planned to share their edible designs with their family members this Easter weekend.

"It's nice to reach out to the community and do something fun with the kids," said Abby Cable, of The Pie Place. "I thought it went great. We had some pros."

Cable suggested cupcake decorators at home freeze their cupcakes for 10 minutes before icing.

She also suggested using toasted coconut to create birds' nests on top of the cupcakes, with some colorful malted milk balls in the middle to represent eggs.

The Pie Place offers activities for children around almost every holiday. The bakery also hosts children's birthday parties.
