| BE SURPRISED - CUPCAKE TOPPERS |
Well I must admit that I have been a little bit obsessed with these lately - there is so much you can create with these and they are just so much fun. I wanted to share the 'how to' for these for ages and finally am sitting down doing it xxx
So lets get to it.
What you really need, Fondant, corn flour, circle cutter, Rolling pin, polystyrene ball, imagination. Useful extras, impression or textured mats, variety of cutters,
What you do
Roll out your fondant fairly thin and cut a circle. Dust the polystyrene ball with cornflour. Place the circle on the polystyrene ball and gently smooth and 'mould' it on to create your hollow half ball. Leave to dry for about an hour (depends on weather), gently ease it off and leave to dry completely.
TIP - if you find that the fondant is sticking to the ball dust the fondant circle with cornflour before putting it on to the ball.
Variety -
Using an impression mat emboss the fondant circle before it is placed on the ball.
Cut out shapes in circle before placing on ball to dry.
Decorate the fondant circle while it is on the ball using fondant cutouts etc
You can use a variety of sizes of polystyrene balls and circle cutters to create various sizes.
There is so much I could say about what you can create with these but I will leave it to your own amazing imagination.
