New Years 2010

Happy New Years!! What better way to start the new year than to ring it in with happy vibrant sunflower cupcakes with cute little lady bugs for detail! These are mint chocolate cupcakes with basic butter cream. I also experimented with some poured fondant on a few cupcakes (the last image). I used chocolate poured fondant for the top of the cupcake, and basic butter cream for the sunflowers, leaves, and vines.

All I did for the poured fondant was heat up some fondant in the microwave for a few seconds, added some water and mixed it to a runny texture, and dipped the cupcakes in then to get a nice smooth and even texture on top. It was a little tricky trying to get the right consistency but with practice it will become easier. Happy New Year everyone!
