The cake I am making
for the Scouts does not leave any room for the boys' names, so I decided to bake two dozen cupcakes, put the boys' names on them and place them around the main cake. I purchased a Wilton tip # 1M (really large tip for cupcakes) and I love it. I piped 9 of the cupcakes with this really cute swirly pattern.
The other 15 were needed for the letters of the names. For these cupcakes, I decided to use the technique I used when making
Isabel's Hello Kitty cupcakes last year.
 |
Melt some frosting in the microwave for 5-10 seconds. Stir. Dip your cupcake
upside down in the icing. |
 |
| Allow for the extra frosting to run off a bit. |
 |
| Leave them be to dry for a bit. Ta Da! |
I love the "ganache" look to them. While they dried, I started making the fondant letters for the names.
After placing them on the cupcakes, I used a bit of water on a paint brush to brush away the cornstarch I used to prevent the fondant from sticking to the letter cutters. These will be placed around the cake, with the other cupcakes in between.

I like it! What letter cutters did you use? I need to get more letter cutters. I always end up cutting them out by hand with an xacto.
I used some from FMM products called "Funky Alphabet & Number" cutter set. I bought it from Global Sugar Art online.
Those look awesome, Kaaren!!!
They look great. Nice that the names are all the same length =)

I love that idea.
