  I always admired the cup cakes made by the professionals where they cover the cupcake with fondant. My opinion was that it will be too pretty to gobble down, or it would be too sweet to eat.  I decided to give it a try and pleasantly surprised.

I tried steaming the ganache to get the shine but ended up over steaming over the welcome sign so the ganache turned frosty.

Christmas cupcakes

  HAPPY HOLIDAYS Hi everyone. I wanted to post my christmas cupcakes before I go off on holiday. I played around with the fondant and came up with a snow man with a scarf and christmas father.  I made some red velvet cup cakes and made some home made frosting.  Frosting recipe 1 cup room temperature unsalted butter 3 cups icing sugar 1tbl spn water 2 tbl spns rose water (can use milk) Beat the butter until white and fluffy. Sift the icing sugar to get the lumps out. Gradually add the icing sugar to the butter while beating. With about a cup of icing sugar left add the water and rose water. Continue beating until fluffy. Here are some pics of my completed cupcakes.
