Looking for easy party food ideas for kids that are fun, affordable and guaranteed to impress? These iced biscuits have been one of my go-to party treats for years. They’re simple to make, easy to customise for any theme, and always a hit with both kids and adults.

As a small business owner based in Brisbane, QLD, Australia, I’ve created hundreds of party setups over the years, and these iced biscuits are something I come back to again and again. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create themed treats that tie beautifully into your party decorations.

One of my most popular party treats is iced biscuits. They’re incredibly easy to make, and guests of all ages love them.

Here’s exactly how I make them, plus lots of ideas to help you customise them for your own celebration.

How to Make Easy Iced Biscuits

Everything about these iced biscuits is simple. No fancy tools, no complicated techniques, and perfect if you’re short on time.

If you want the easiest option, start with store-bought biscuits:

For frosting, I often use Betty Crocker Frosting when I’m preparing a full party setup. It’s quick, consistent and saves time. Buttercream also works beautifully if you prefer homemade.

What You’ll Need

Biscuits (any shape)
Frosting or icing
Knife or icing spatula
Sprinkles, lollies or edible decorations

Instructions

Lay out your biscuits on a tray or plate.
Spread icing evenly over each biscuit.
Decorate with sprinkles, lollies or themed toppings.

That’s it. Quick, easy and perfect for getting kids involved in the kitchen.
