So what do we think, should I use Nutella to ice cupcakes?

I am too lazy to make frosting, and then I spied the nutella jar and thought, hmmmmmmm..... The cup cakes are peanut butter flavor with choco chips, for a children's party. I thought some nutella and sprinkles would top it off well. Yea or nay?

1. The flavors would go great!

I'm sure the Nutella would be a great icing .... however ..... you *know* how gooey it is. Gooey and sticky. The kids could become so encrusted in it they might need to be scraped. :)

2. could she use Nutella as a base and whip in some powdered sugar

to decrease the "sticky" factor?

Course then she'd have to scrape the kids off the wall from the sugar overload :rofl:

3. Spray the kids with Pam

Then you can just wipe 'em down! :)

4. It's summer, so just take them to the back yard

and hose them down.

5. No worries, it is a pool party.

Just dunk them in the baby pool for a few minutes to get the sticky off. Although the baby pool is so nasty (at least 20% pee by volume) that I might prefer them sticky!

6. Yum Nutella

I wonder if you could whip it into some whipped cream or even a whipped cream/cream cheese/powdered sugar combo. It would make it lighter and a little easier to work with.

7. Conclusion:

I was worried about the stickiness factor, but still too lazy to make frosting. So I bought a jar at the grocery.

Conclusion? I should have gone with the nutella or made my own 'cause the store bought was naaaaasty! But the kids didn't seem to mind. Kids like anything with sugar.
