About 2 weeks ago it was my gym buddy Michelle's birthday, so I decided that I would make her some birthday...
I've had a few packets of fondant icing in the cupboard for a little while wondering when I would be able to get the chance to use it, as most of the other treats that I make don't really go with icing. So I decided that I was going to have a go at decorating her birthday cupcakes with the 'fancy' icing. I should also mention what the cupcakes were that I made. For anyone within the world of cupcakes I'm sure that they would know about Crabapple Cupcakes, well I decided upon, from their cookbook, half of the cupcakes were white mud and and the other half chocolate mud. And with the left over batter I made some mini cupcakes, of which I have now become VERY big fan of making over the normal size ones, the mini ones are just the right size to pop straight into your mouth!!
So I tested out the fondant icing, which was a lot easier to work with then I had expected. Colouring it was a little bit messy and I ended up with not so nicely coloured fingers for a while, but I think that the end result was well worth it!
For my birthday my lovely sisters gave me a container that they will with all sorts of cake decorating bits and pieces, so for the mini cupcakes I decided to test out some new piping nozzles.
