Okay, so who’s gonna take it? Saints or Colts? Will the Cricut Cake cut out any shape? Can it be programmed with custom designs or does it simply come with preset designs. One thing I don’t know for sure and maybe one of you do. It will cut out fondant shapes in seconds. Well, they are coming out with something called Cricut Cake. If you scrapbook, you’ve probably heard of a Cricut Cutter. Now, I recently heard about a new technology that will make this whole process a breeze. If you remember, the Mii cupcakes… it’s the same technique. Orange letters – a pain in my you know what. Kind of like putting a puzzle together.īlue background – One fondant shape, but smaller To make the logo out of fondant, I printed the logo out on paper and cut out all the different pieces with an x-acto knife to use as templates.
First the fondant was tinted light brown with icing color. The shiny effect on the Saints cupcake is achieved by painting the fondant top surface with Mahogany luster dust. I also made a Colts and Saints cupcake to finish off the set. Therefore… I just made one.ĭefinitely would have been easier on a larger scale. Umm… this took me a little while to cut out. I should have stopped there, but then I lost my mind and decided to recreate the Super Bowl XLIV Logo out of fondant. Relatively easy to decorate with great visual appeal. There you go… cute little football field cupcakes. Now, by some stroke of luck, you do have these football candles, you’ll need to leave an opening at the top so the candles can be inserted without messing up your fondant stripes. But that’s the good thing about the oreo truffles… no actual baking, so that saves you a little time. I know… who has time to do that? The game is tomorrow. Just lay them on their sides on the tops of the cupcakes. If you don’t have football candles, you can also make your own oreo football truffles like these. If you don’t have football candles, you can center the numbers at the very top instead of towards the front of the cupcake and just have little football fields. As you press, the cupcake, rotate and help smooth out the frosting so you have a round top. The crystals will stick to the frosting and the numbers will stay clean. Just press them into the frosting and then dip the top and sides of your cupcake into a small bowl filled with sanding sugar. I frosted the cupcakes one at a time so they would be moist when I applied the fondant pieces. I used kelly green icing color with this buttercream frosting recipe. You’ll also need to cut some thin, straight strips to go in between each number on top of the cupcake. Roll it out thin and cut out your numbers.
You can find fondant it in most craft stores. You can also pipe on the numbers with buttercream. The numbers for the field are made using tiny tiny cookie cutters and cutting out the shapes from rolled fondant. One, because it’s a quick, yummy recipe and two… it all takes place in … you guessed it … one bowl. I used Martha’s One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake Recipe. So, to keep things relatively quick and easy, I went for cupcakes. But, I found the cutest little football candles at Cake Art and I couldn’t pass up using them. Okay, so I realize it’s almost too late to post something Super Bowl related and all – seeing as how the big game is tomorrow night.
