How to make Christmas Penguin cupcakes.
Tools & materials I used are listed below:
1 regular size cupcake about 6cm wide
Butter cream to ice with
Off set spatula to ice with
Non stick place mat (or flat non stick chopping board)
Non stick small rolling pin
Corn flour bag for dusting (handkerchief with corn flour in it tied up with a rubber band)
Circle cutters (6 &½ cm & 2cm wide)
Palate knife and pointy craft knife
Water in small container and small brush (or edible glue with brush)
Toothpick
Black fondant icing
Red fondant icing
Blue fondant icing
White fondant icing
Green fondant icing
Orange fondant icing
I am using a type of icing called fondant icing which is a type of sugar dough (used on wedding cakes). You can get it from your local supermarket or specialty cake decorating supplier. You can even make it. I usually buy it in white & colour it by using food dyes & mixing it through. Link here for how to colour white fondant with food dyes: • How to Colour Fondant
For darker colours like black, bright red & bright green I buy it pre coloured as it's harder to mix the darker colours. These colours in fondant are more sticky due to the dye content so I usually mix a little white fondant through it to make it easier to work with. It can be sticky to work with & changes depending on the weather in your area - it absorbs moisture from the air so can be sticky to work with but it normally dries when exposed to air so you need to wrap excess fondant up in cling wrap and then a zip lock bag.
It may be hard when you take it out of its packaging so you would need to knead it to make it more workable as it warms up and becomes softer and sticker in your hands. To stop the stickiness of fondant you can dust your surfaces with corn flour. It comes in many brands - I use Pettinice RTR Icing by Bakels (brand) but there are many other brands like Satin Ice, Queens and Orchards.
Tylose powder can be used to mix through your fondant so that your figurines set harder & quicker than just fondant alone. You can leave it out but you risk your figurines sagging and not fully drying in time. You can get it online or from your specialty cake decorating supply shops. You can use it to make an edible glue as well. Link here for the edible glue - • How to Make Edible Cak...

[@huiqi8143]

Hi there , can I ask how long could the cupcake stay for ? Because I just deciding to make it tomorrow and give them out on christmas day .

[@mackandnorm]

A few days so they should be ok but keep them in a cake box or a container with a lid to keep them fresh & so that they don't dry out ; )

[@huiqi8143]

Should I keep them in the fridge then ?

[@mackandnorm]

You can but you will get condensation on the fondant ; )

[@huiqi8143]

But if I don't keep them in the fridge will the fondant melt ? Sorry keep asking you lots of question .

[@mackandnorm]

Fondant doesn't melt if kept outside - it actually dries up if left in the open. It's used a lot on the smooth wedding cakes.

Lovely Andrea, Christmas greetings from the UK XX

[@trinbagoindi]

This is just adorable! But I always wondered what cupcake size you use because they always come out bigger than mine and you have the extra space at the top to put your icing.

[@mackandnorm]

If you check out my vanilla cupcake recipe (link in video description) you will see the cupcake patty & size that I use ; )

[@Aiyanna224]

Amazing!! I'm at the age of 11 and working on fondant and I really want to be a baker when I'm older like you! But can you do some recipies too because I want to know how to make it before I decorate it.
Thanks

[@mackandnorm]

The recipe for the cupcakes & buttercream are on my channel ; )

[@sharmeenj8573]

Show us the chocolate version of your vanilla cupcakes please.. Waiting impatiently for this :)

[@KJVK211]

She has a video on how to make chocolate cake.

[@sharmeenj8573]

Can you send me the link please? I can't find it :s

[@yolandaarchila22]

Just use a chocolate cupcake along with chocolate frosting . Fondon does not taste like vanilla but you can use cookie dough that's frozen or add chocolate flavoring to the fondon

[@katiereid5725]

Cute :)

[@mackandnorm]

Thanks ; )
