Edible Snowmen Cupcake Wrappers
You will need
white modeling chocolate black and orange food coloring pink luster dust cupcakes frosting non-stick baking mat (or use a gallon size zip top bag) large fondant rolling pin or wooden rolling pin pastry wheel, pizza wheel, or knife small tear drop cutter small round plunger cutter (or use a #9 or 10 round pastry tip)
5 round pastry tip
pastry bag and big star tip (for piping frosting on cupcakes)
Instructions
Print a copy of the cupcake wrapper template. Cut out around the template. Wrap it around one of your cupcakes, to see if it is the right size. You need the template to overlap at the ends by at least 1/2 inch, so adjust the template as needed. Re-size then cut out a new template. Roll out modeling chocolate on a non-stick baking mat using a fondant roller. See instructions for rolling out modeling chocolate using a large zip top bag, here. Cut out around the template using a pastry cutter/pizza wheel. Check to make sure they fit around your cupcakes with enough overlap to seal the seam. Color some modeling chocolate orange and some black. Roll them out on a non-stick mat. Use a tear drop cutter to cut out carrot noses and a small round plunger cutter to make eyes. Brush water onto the back side of the eyes and nose and press them onto the modeling chocolate cupcake wrapper. Press the pointed tip of a #5 pastry tip down into the dark modeling chocolate. Turn the tip upside down and tap it on your work surface, allowing the tiny black dot to fall out. You can cut lots of dots before tapping them out. You'll need 7-9 dots per smile. Attach all but the top two dots. Brush on a small circle of pink luster dust, then attach the top two dots over the pink spots. Wrap the decorated modeling chocolate cupcake wrapper around a cupcake. Brush water on the end pieces and press together. If your modeling chocolate has dried, rub the water on with your finger, making it a bit sticky. Press together the seam. Pipe on a swirl of frosting.
