GOLD MEDAL CUPCAKES
Well…yellow medal cupcakes, I know. This is my first attempt at working with fondant. I got the fondant that was already tinted. Baby steps!! I found it was surprisingly simple once I got the hang of it. Just like rolling out pie dough. I used a pizza cutter to make the medal ribbons. After they were cut to size, I just formed them to shape. I then used a circle template to cut out the medals. Had I not been in such a rush to finish, I would have put more detail on them….maybe next time.
These cupcakes were made for the members of my son’s percussion ensemble, Phoenix Indoor Percussion, who placed first in their division at their championships. Last year’s crew got spoiled with my cupcakes pretty much every week, but my schedule kept me from doing much baking for them this year. I thought I better whip up a batch for them for championships or I would have to walk back home.
No matter how basic the attempt, the kids seemed to enjoy them…and then asked why they hadn’t been spoiled like that more often. KIDS!!
