Tuesday Toppers: Sports Cupcakes

With baseball season coming to a close, football season starting in a few days , and basketball season right around the corner, I figured now would be the perfect time to bring these cupcakes out. In our house we favor football, GO COLTS!, but I decided to start with the baseball since the season will be ending next month. Next week i'll be doing the football topper just in time for tailgating season :D. Here's what you will need to make this very simple topper.

-Fondant smoother
-Red food safe marker
-White fondant

-Take a 1" ball of white fondant and flatten just slightly.

-With the fondant smoother at an angle, go around the fondant forming it into a half circle.

-Now for the lines take the red food marker and draw two curved lines.

-And then make the red stitching lines.

Now your ready to hit a home run!
Happy Tuesday!

Tuesday Toppers: Father's Day Cupcakes

With Father's Day fast approaching I sat down to make some toppers just for the dads out there. Luckily i've been blessed to have one of the greatest dads on the planet! I love you daddy! (no i'm not sucking up, what are you talking about :D) I've also been blessed to have an amazing hubby who is also an amazing father to our two little sweeties. Love you babe! So I picked some of their favorite things and made these just for them. This week i'm going to show you how to make the little hammer and here's what you'll need to make one:

-Fondant smoother

-Knife

-Paint brush and water

-Leaf veiner

-Brown and gray fondant

- Take brown ball of fondant and roll into a log.

-Taper at one end.

-For hammer top, take larger ball of gray.

-And roll into a log.

-Flatten one end with your finger.

-Take a knife and cut a slit into flattened end.

-To make the head of the hammer take the smaller ball and flatten it with the fondant smoother.

- Take Leaf veiner and make a hole for the handle to go into (don't go all the way through).

-With a small amount of water attatch the two pieces of the top together.

-Now apply a small amount of water into hole and insert base.

It's hammer time!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!
