We are learning about how to write a procedure for Writing...

Check out our yummy recipe for

"How to Make a Cupcake Ice-Cream"

INGREDIENTS

STEPS
1 : Fill half the cone with candy.
2 : Get your large cupcake and put frosting on the top and put it upside down into the cone
3 : Put the icing on the bottom of the large cupcake and then grab the little cupcake and put it on the icing flat side down

5 : Sprinkle the sprinkles on the frosting
This will make you smile when you it eat!
