Stamped Fondant Cupcake Toppers


Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet,
give me something good, and cute to eat,
for Halloween.

These stamped fondant cupcake toppers
are so easy and fun, you are going to love
using this idea for lots of fun ideas.



I saw these two cute Halloween stamps at 
Hobby Lobby and couldn't resist them.

Now, what to do with them with
one round and one rectangular.

I decided to make stamped fondant,
using gel food coloring to make fun
cupcake toppers, and attached them at
an angle to fresh frosting, so the
rectangular one worked as well as the round one.


Make white fondant, so easy with
marshmallows, or a good tasting prepared
fondant is Satin Ice.  Truly, this one tastes
good.  I was introduced to this one by
Amy from _thebakeaholic on Instagram.
I took a cookie making class from her,
and she recommended it.  I purchased some
on Amazon, and made these with the
Satin Ice.  It was soft and smooth and
tasted good.  It was very easy to use,
although a lot more expensive than homemade.


I cut the shapes out that I needed, but my cookie
cutters were just slightly small for the stamps,
so I gently rolled the rectangular ones to
make them just slightly longer, and slightly
stretched the round ones with my fingers.

I cut mine out in the morning and 7 hours
later they were stiff enough to stamp.

Wash and dry the stamps, then paint on the
gel food color with a paint brush.  I learned
that the first one has too much food coloring,
so I would stamp paper first, then stamp 
about two before painting the stamp again.
Be sure to press down all sides of the
stamp, but mine were far from perfect,
and they still turned out cute.

I made my cupcakes in my silicone teacups
and frosted with traditional buttercream
which I found years ago at a kitchen store,
and had to buy just because of the name.

It pours out like a brown sludge, and does
darken your frosting a little, but what a yummy
flavor - made for Princesses!!!

Press the cupcake topper onto freshly piped
frosting.  





The littles just couldn't keep their hands off of them.

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  3. These are adorable Jacqueline! I have some similar emulsion I bought from King Arthur Flour, it does add a mystery flavor that just makes everything so much better-I have to remember to use it!

  10. Very cute! I love the tip about letting the fondant dry for awhile. I have tried this before, but it didn't work out well -- maybe because I didn't dry it! Happy Halloween! Joni
