Custom made cup cakes

  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 made chocolate cupcakes and coated them with some ganache. I placed in the freezer for around an hour for them to set.  Method: Roll fondant out on powdered surface.  Cut with a scone cutter, either the smooth or frilled edge. I used the frilled edge in these. Lift and place on ganache coated cupcake.  Smooth the fondant over with your fingers so it is flush against the ganache. I used all the little fondant art I made to top it off. Painting with gold: Use gold dust Add some rose water / clear spirit alcohol Mix together and apply with paint brush. Indent on fondant: Roll out fondant on powdered surface Run indent roller of fondant Cut with a scone cutter. The ALFA Romeo sign i
