Apple Fondant Cupcakes
Recipe type: Dessert
 
Ingredients
  • 12 of your favorite vanilla cupcakes
  • ½ stick butter, softened
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk
  • 5-6 oz. red fondant
  • 1-2 oz. brown fondant
  • 2-3 oz. green fondant
  • 6 toothpicks
  • 1 circular cookie cutter, about 2 inches in diameter
Instructions
  1. Before commencing the decorating process, ensure that the cupcakes are completely cool to the touch.
  2. In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together butter, icing sugar and milk.
  3. Once the ingredients are well-combined, use an offset spatula to spread buttercream on the center of each cupcake.
  4. Roll the red fondant using a rolling pin. Roll it until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
  5. Use the cookie cutter to cut out 12 red fondant circles.
  6. Press one red fondant circle on each cupcake.
  7. Using kitchen scissors, cut each toothpick in half. Insert a half toothpick into the center of each cupcake, having a small portion stick out.
  8. To assemble one apple fondant cupcake:
  9. Roll a small piece of brown fondant and shape it into a small cylinder. Insert into the exposed portion of the inserted toothpick.
  10. Roll out 1-2 small green fondant spheres, about ⅓ of an inch thick.
  11. Flatten each green fondant sphere and shape it into a teardrop. Use a paring knife or toothpick to give it some lines to give it realistic texture.
  12. Place 1-2 fondant leaves on the top of each cupcake, right next to the stem. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If the fondant is not sticking together, brush water on the back of each piece to secure.
