Anniversary Cupcake Toppers

To continue with my posts about the cupcakes I am working on for J for her anniversary, tonight is a quick one about the toppers I am making.  I have decided I am going to take this opportunity to try a whole lot of different things that I haven’t done yet.  So far, I have made the cupcake wrappers and a candy heart topper.  Tonight is an additional topper, made out of rolled fondant.  I only needed a small amount of fonday so I decided I didn’t want to make my own.  I went ahead and bought the Wilton rolled fondant from the store and was incredibly disappointed.  That is the first time, to my knowledge I have actually tried pre-made fondant.  No wonder everyone always complains about the way fondant tastes!  I will stick with my marhsmallow fondant!  It is SO worth the effort!  In any case, since I was only making little toppers I still used the rolled fondant.

I rolled the fondant out on a surface sprinkled with cornstarch.  I then cut the fondant into the appropriate sized pieces using a pizza cutter (best way to cut the fondant in my opinion).  I used some of my (clean) rubber stamps to stamp the initials D and J for the lovely married couple of 7 years!  I wish I had an ampersand stamp to put in the middle, but didn’t, so I used a star.

After I cut and stamped the pieces I laid them on a water bottle covered in a piece of parchment paper so they pieces would dry out in the curved shape I wanted.  From beginning to end this only took about 20 – 30 minutes.
