Relive your college drinking days with this fun cake party cups tutorial that teaches you how to decorate cupcakes to look like the infamous red plastic drinking glasses.
To make these red plastic cup cakes begin by baking a tray of chocolate cupcakes from a box. Then stack two of the cupcakes together and slice them down to size so that they look like a cylinder plastic cup. Cover the cupcakes in a layer of bright red fondant, using chocolate icing as glue, that is longer than the stacked cupcakes. Add a layer of white fondant to replicate the cup's rim. Then fill the remainder space of the fondant cup with caramel or a yellow-colored icing to replicate the look of beer. These would be great to bring to any house party as a fun dessert snack.
