In an episode of guilt driven insanity, I decided to make these fancy cupcakes for my preschooler to take to school on his birthday. He is wild about Pokemon cards right now. They weren’t terribly difficult, but they were very time-consuming and I will never, ever, ever spend so much time decorating cupcakes again! From now on it’s a smear of icing and some colored sprinkles!
Instead of icing or prepackaged fondant, I made marshmallow fondant which is much tastier than regular fondant.
They were very well received by my little guy and his classmates, but they were starting to melt in the heat of the classroom. Some of the faces slid off and had to be set back in place.
In case anyone is interested: The green guys are Carnivine, the yellow guys are Pikachu, The white and blue squirrel looking things are Pachirisu, and the penguins on the bottom are Piplup.
