Valentine's Day Cupcake Toppers (1 Viewer)

If you're looking for a bit of inspiration this Valentine's Day, then why not have a go at making these cupcake toppers. All you need is red, white and black icing fondant: embossed rollers, a few heart cutters, a flower cutter and edible pens or paint.

How to make...
  • To emboss the icing fondant, roll it out with a rolling pin, then emboss it by rolling over it with your embossed roller and then cut it into your desired shapes.

  • To make the 'I' shape, roll a sausage with red fondant and then cut the ends with a knife to straighten them off.
  • To make the sheep, roll out white fondant, emboss it, then cut it into shape with a flower cutter.
  • To make the face, roll a ball of black fondant, then flatten it and square it off between your fingertips.

  • Roll small pieces of black fondant for the ears.
  • You can use a toothpick to make the indentation marks for the nostrils.
  • To make the 'EWE' and pupils for the eyes, I used an edible pen/paint.
  • To make the embossed heart use the heart embossing mat to imprint your icing then cut into a heart shape.
The hardest part of making these toppers was the 'EWE' heart. When making it, you will need the patience of a saint unless you're incredibly steady with your hands. I think it took me about 20 attempts to get this heart done, but we got there in the end.

They are cute, relatively easy to do, and a great gift idea.
