Simple and fun Christmas model decorations which are relatively quick and easy to make. These are great for cupcake toppers or as a feature on your Christmas cake. I used chocolate icing for the rich brown textures; this made the Santa Sack filled with presents, the base of the Christmas pudding and the snowman's hat. I used white icing for the snowman body, the snowflakes (I also used a snowflake cutter for the shape). The Christmas tree was made using Renshaws green lincoln icing, and edible dragees were used to make the decorations. The penguin dipping pool was made using white and blue icing fondant mixed together. The red berries on top of the pudding were made using red poppy coloured Renshaws icing. The green and red icing...

Here is a lovely Dalmatian design that I found in one of my books recently, and couldn't wait to recreate him. I made Spot using Renshaws white, black and Poppy red icing. His tongue was made from spare pink icing that I had, and the bone was made using the Teddy bear brown colour. The dog itself was straightforward to make and was just a mixture of rolled-up shapes. I did the spots freehand and added the bone as a finishing touch using teddy bear brown coloured Renshaw icing and a veining tool. I made the red mat he's sitting on out of the Poppy red icing so that he has a little contrast and stands out a little. The book that Spot the 'Dalmatian' was in is called 100 Fondant Animals for Cake Decorators and was created by Helen...

Here is a recent West Highland Terrier with a ball that I made out of icing. I used Renshaws white icing for the body, Poppy red icing for the collar and Jet Black icing for the eyes and nose. I used some spare pink icing I had for the slither of pink for the inset in the Westies mouth, and then I mixed the red white and a little pre-dyed (using baby blue sugar flair dye) icing to form the multi-coloured ball. I then used a tiny tipped embossing ball tool and a veiner to make the fur marks and paw indentations. Creative Corner Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers

These flower cupcakes are very easy to make and can be a great last-minute gift for someone. I made chocolate cupcakes and topped them with chocolate fudge icing. For the flowers, I used gerbera/sunflower cutters for the large flower, daisy cutters for the centre and then finished them off with a silver pearl ball or silver dragees as they are also known as. They are quite effective and relatively quick and easy to make. Creative Corner Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers

These were the cupcakes I made and donated to a recent Macmillan Coffee Evening that I attended. The cupcakes are chocolate in flavour with a chocolate fudge frosting and finished off with an edible white, yellow or green rose. The green roses were made in traditional Macmillan colours, and the white and yellow ones were made to complement the colour scheme. Tutorials Easy Cupcake Toppers Creative Corner
