    CUTE Nursery Rhyme Cupcake Tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com! Free step by step cupcake tutorial!

    Today I'm sharing the CUTEST Nursery Rhyme Cupcake Tutorial! This step by step cupcake tutorial will show you how to make adorable cupcake toppers simply & easily! These cupcakes would be perfect for baby showers!

    Although I'm not wild about eating fondant, I do LOVE cupcake toppers!  They can be easily removed, revealing yummy buttercream underneath--and they really do make for a sweet presentation.

    Let's get started!

    First, cut out some fondant shapes with cookie cutters--I like to do this at least 2-3 days in advance.  If you have CMC or tylose powder, knead a little into your fondant--it will dry faster!

     

    I chose shapes large enough to nearly cover the tops of my cupcakes. All are approximately 2 inches wide.   Save any extra shapes for another time!

    These have all dried nice and firm on parchment paper.  I have my piping bag fitted with a tip 4B  (use whatever you like for piping swirls!)

    For the Three Little Pigs, you'll notice that I used  both ends of a Wilton tip 12 to cut out 2 different sizes of circles--- faces & snouts!  :0)

      Melissa...
      I thought that I was creative..but you never cease to amaze me. I shall never look at my Wilton tips the same again. I have used them for cutting circles..but pig snouts and moons,etc..who knew??? too cute.

      I just discovered your blog today, thanks to Sweetopia, and have been spending my time looking at all of your wonderful treats! When I saw this cupcake group I knew I needed to comment! Absolutely adorable!! If I ever make baby shower cupcakes, this will be my first idea.

      Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! I made them for a baby shower and they turned out delightful (not quite as nice as yours, but still far better than I expected for my first try at fondant)! https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/p_7ebgjWOCATjL72vp08XZ432bNkn1lOuYknfhY8sb4?feat=directlink
