I´m all worried about the earthquake in Japan... So I decided to post here to get my mind off things.
I´ve always wanted to try messing with fondant. My lovely sister gave me Fondant for Christmas and so...
Maaaan, it´s kinda... exhausting. I think it´s better if you know what you´re doing, have a plan or a theme and just do what you wanted. But. I didn´t have a plan, I didn´t have a theme and so both my attempts at trying to make cupcakes pretty ended with only a few cupcakes.
Here are some pictures:
This first batch I made all by myself.
I also got a leave-mold. Nice.
My first try at making a rose. Kinda big...
Mini Cupcake turned upside down then covered. Not looking too good. But I like the idea.
All (four) of them. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make those. I need more practise.
The second batch I made with my friend Conny. I figured it`d be more fun doing it together. And it was. But still we didn´t manage to make lots. Yes, we did spend probably too much time chatting like old women but still...
Fondant flowers. Cut out with Japanese cutters.

A ribbon. It looks so easy. I can tell you, it´s not.
White on white. Very elegant if you ask me.
Another rose. Smaller this time and with a leaf.
Conny`s beautiful daughter Supercute-Sophia being proud of her cupcake. She loved the Leaf-mold.
That is all we made. Two big ones, two little ones each.
Next time we´ll make more. We´ll make a plan beforehand and don´t try to think of cute things while we´re at it. We absolutely won´t forget the stars! We will use unpowdered gloves for kneading and modelling the fondant. We will have more little cookie cutters. We will make better cupcakes (the little ones were terribly dry). We... Well, we´ll just make it better. Right? Right!
