Tuesday Toppers: Cupcake, cupcake


I get so many emails asking when or if i'm going to do the tutorial for this cupcake topper and it has finally come up next on the list (yes i keep a list! I LOVE lists, lol). Although I think that when I make them again as toppers I will make them a tiny bit smaller. I also have plans to make these as ornaments in polymer clay and sell them in my etsy store (not open just yet, but soon!) Here's what you'll need to make one:


cupcakecup12

-Fondant smoother
-Paint brush and water
-Knife
-Pink, white, and red fondant

cupcakecup11

-Take pink fondant and roll into a tube with the fondant smoother.

cupcakecup10

-Pinch top and bottom edges to define them more.

cupcakecup9

cupcakecup13

-With fondant smoother taper one end just slightly.

cupcakecup8

-Using knife make lines all the way around base.

cupcakecup14

cupcakecup6

-For Frosting take white fondant about the same size as the pink.

cupcakecup5

-Flatten slightly with the fondant smoother.

cupcakecup4

-Using Ball tool, push up into center to form dome.

cupcakecup3

-Take leaf veiner and make 5 evenly spaced indents around the base.

cupcakecup2

-Icing all ready to go!

cupcakecup1

-With a small amount of water attatch icing to cupcake base and add cherry on top!!

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

    I stumbled upon your site one day and absoluetly love your work. I am in the process of starting my own blog and I would love to link back to your work. I will try to follow your directions and show how mines came out. I am horrible with fondant and if I can follow along anyone can. Then they can link back to you for your tutorials. Thanks for all you do and keep up the fantastic work.
