Tonight we are heading to my mum's house for dinner and I decided to make cupcakes for dessert. Given that I will take any excuse to decorate cupcakes I decided to make them Halloween themed. These mummy cupcakes were super easy to make and all they took was some simple icing and fondant.
I made a batch of chocolate cupcakes and iced them with a simple white icing. I then cut strips of fondant and draped them over the cupcakes to look like mummy wrappings. The eyes are then small bits of fondant rolled into balls. You can draw on the black dots with either a food grade pen or black icing or food colouring.
I love decorating cupcakes but more than anything I love ideas that are easy to execute and give you great looking results. I will definitely be saving these into my Halloween ideas for future parties.
These are so awesome!!! Great job Kat! I'm still too scared to try using fondant. I don't know why. Although I'm really tempted to try, since you make it look so easy!
ReplyDeleteFondant is super easy! I was really scared when I first used it as well but it is so much easier than it looks. Cupcakes are the easiest place to start. I did simple cupcakes that i covered in one colour fondant then popped fondant hearts on top for my first go. You should definitely give it a try!
DeleteThose look really great and like they'd be really hard to decorate, but you make it look so easy. I bet they're delicious too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! They really are very simple just a little time consuming cutting all the strips.
DeleteThese look yummy! Happy Halloween to you too!
