Bright paper streamers from the ceiling make a circus tent table; a loaded camera will inspire your clowns to do their funniest, wildest tricks!
Bake any flavor of our layer cake mixes in paper baking cups as directed on the package. Cut cone-shaped piece for hat from top of each cupcake; set aside.
Just before serving, top each cupcake with a scoop of ice cream. Use red cinnamon candies, peanut halves, pieces of gumdrops, candy wafers, jelly beans and silver dragees to make clown faces on ice-cream balls. Top each with reserved piece of cupcake for a hat.
Serve with Sloppy Joes.

Vintage Recipe Cards 
A little something special for my husband’s birthday. I’m good like that.
Would you say this would be appropriate for a college graduation barbecue?
I love how the clown cupcakes have angry faces. That’s a little odd but so funny. I found your blog on foodpress – what a great idea. I think my great-aunt had some of these recipe cards at one point – I should have snagged them 🙂
