Aspiring bakers #2: Xmas cupcakes

This post is jumping queue and ahead of a few posts which have been kept in the inbox for months. The only reason is that there's a deadline for submission to Aspiring Bakers #2. I'm keeping this post very short, but nevertheless would like to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and enjoy the joy the festive seasons bring you! Cheers <3<3<3


These decorated xmas cupcakes are all handcrafted as gifts for my colleagues. I used steamed chocolate cake recipe, but instead of steaming it, I baked them for about 20 mins at 180 degC.









These are very simply decorated with store bought figurines and dusted with snow powder, using the same recipe as above.

Hi! Would you mind telling me how you imprint the wordings onto the fondant? I'm trying to make cupcakes for my 4 year old's birthday party at school in 2 weeks :)

Hi Christina,
I used a stencils which I bought from kitchen capers. It comes in a small box and you can arrange any words with the small-tile alphabets. Wishing your boy a very happy birthday in advance!
