Campfire Cupcake Toppers
Today's tutorial is for some camping themed cupcake toppers. These toppers were for my cousin's son's birthday. They were having a camping themed party and I was excited to make the toppers. I decided to go with a fondant campfire and marshmallows on a "stick." They were going to make s'mores at the party, so I thought the marshmallow and campfire toppers were a great fit. Half the cupcakes had the fire and half had the pretzel/marshmallow.
These toppers were really easy to make, and a big hit at the party!
Camping Themed cupcake toppers:
- Print out a campfire picture to use as a template
- Dye some fondant brown and roll out to 1/16 in
- Cut out log portion of campfire out of brown fondant using an Exacto knife
- Dye a ball of fondant red and another ball yellow
- Mix the two balls of fondant together somewhat, but not completely (you want swirls in the fondant)
- Roll out fondant to 1/16 in
- Cut out fire portion of toppers
- Glue fire onto logs using gum glue (fondant pieces dissolved in water)
- Stick mini marshmallows on pretzel sticks
