Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake cupcakes and allow them to cool completely.
  • While cupcakes and baking and cooling, make frosting.
  • Pipe a swirl of frosting on top of each cupcake, using TIP 1M or use a spatula to spread icing on top.
  • Roll out blue fondant and cut out a round piece with a circle cutter. Use a cutter that is the same width as your cupcakes.
  • Use a pizza cutter to cut out two thin strips.These will become the collar and button line of your shirt cupcakes.
  • Use a paintbrush to brush some water around the top of the circular piece.
  • Stick one of the strips. You can stuff some tissue in the center of the collar so that it holds its shape.
  • Now, use a knife to cut off the ends of the other strip so that it becomes pointy.
  • Brush some water along the center of the shirt.
  • Stick the pointy strip here. Cut off excess at the bottom with a knife.
  • Cut out a small rectangular piece and use the knife to make a light indentation on the top.This will become the pocket of the shirt.
  • Brush some water near the side of the shirt and stick the pocket piece here.
  • Finally, roll out three tiny yellow fondant balls and press them onto the button line.
  • Also, roll out a very thin yellow strip and press it along the top of the pocket.Tip: You can draw the buttons and draw that pocket line with edible markers, if you like.
  • Place these fondant shirt pieces on top of each frosted cupcake. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Read all my tips above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days but the fondant decorations will become slightly sticky.
