I originally made these for an autumn themed baby shower but they'd work equally well at a halloween party!
The cupcake itself is vanilla! I added the green food colouring to the icing at the same time as the milk and vanilla essence. :)
The pumpkins were complete guess work but they worked out pretty well.. they were all different shapes and sizes haha. I'll just put a few steps below as to how I did them...
Fondant Pumpkins
- Color the white fondant icing orange (approx 250g), adding some icing sugar if the mixture got to wet. This was completely trial and error..it took a lot of colour to make it go orange.
- Colour a small amount of the fondant brown and roll it into a long skinny sausage, then chop it into half inch pieces = stems.
- Colour a small amount of fondant green and roll out small balls into strings and coil them around toothpicks. Don't let them set fully as they'll harden and break on you as you put them on the pumpkins.
- Roll the orange icing into balls and create the indents using dental floss.
- Make a hole in the top of the pumpkin, add the stem and green coil and hey presto you have a pumpkin!
