Princess Cupcakes ... Wands and Crowns

Also on my to do list I signed up for before I became very sick was Princess Cupcakes. I just love helping Birthday Dreams bringing birthday's to homeless kids, so I couldn't disappoint I had to make the cupcakes I signed up for.  So sorry no detailed pictures just the after picture of them going out the door.

What you need:

Frosted Cupcakes (I tinted my Sturdy Buttercream with Electric Pink AmeriColor)

Decorating Pearls

White Modeling Chocolate

Wilton Jumbo Pink Decorating Hearts

Small Decorating Hearts

For those who have not seen my previous post on how to make modeling chocolate (aka candy clay).

Modeling Chocolate

12oz Candy Melts

1/4 Cup light corn Syrup

Melt your Candy Melts in microwave (mine takes about 2 minutes). Stir them to become smooth and THEN add the corn syrup (make sure all the lumps are smoothed out).  It will become thick and form a ball.  Wrap in plastic wrap and let it sit out and dry.  Takes a few hours or over night is best. (Alexis note: I found to roll this out use a little powder sugar (like you would do with flour), also you have to kneed it a little like you would dough to make it easy to roll out).

For the Wands I made strips of white modeling chocolate, then added a large pink heart at the tip. For the crowns I made square's from the modeling chocolate then took the top of a shoot star cookie cutter to cut out the top of the crown (you can do this with a knife also).  I added a small heart on the front of the crown. Frost your cupcakes then decorate with the pearls and top with a crown or a wand.

Thanks for Stopping by!
