Irene's little boy Ashton celebrated his birthday last week, and I was more than happy to oblige when Irene called up to order a box of cupcakes. These are part chocolate and part vanilla cupcakes, topped with a whipped chocolate ganache frosting and marshmallow fondant decorations.
Marshmallow fondant is made with marshmallows and icing sugar, from which you can design edible decorations which taste like marshmallows (who can resist?), instead of the rather nasty tasting pre-made rolled fondant that are available in the shops.
And now, for some pictures..
first you frost one cupcake..
then you frost 24 more..
put some little fondant flowers on..
spell out your message..
in the box they go..
there you have it!
I heard the little ones at Ashton's kindergarten had a great time with these =)
that's a huge breath!
look at that cheeky grin! =)

ReplyDeleteAshton loved them and was almost sorry he had to share them with others :)
I took the cupcakes to his kindy and they were a hit with both the kids and the teachers (the kids loved the toppings...the marshmallow fondant were consumed very quickly)!
The choc cup cakes were my favourite - they simply melt in the mouth...and not too sweet either
And the "cups" that it came in was real handy too - all the kids needed was a spoon to dig in...no little plates needed and the teachers were grateful for that convinience!
Hi Irene, I'm glad Ash was happy with them :) Would be great if you had a picture of him that I can post up here, so everyone can see what a cutie pie he is! :)
