What do you do to celebrate someone’s birth on February 2nd? Why you present them with groundhog topped cupcakes, of course!
I received a commission to make "groundhog cupcakes" for a groundhog day Birthday celebration.
I made the groundhogs out of fondant and gumpaste (sorry, the photo isn't the greatest)...
Then I used them to decorate the cupcakes as follows:
Step 1: I applied green buttercream to the cupcake using a #14 open star tip. (I didn’t have a #133 grass tip, so I had to improvise. I used a quick squeeze-pull-release stroke to simulate the grass).Step 2: I added the groundhog topper.Step 3: I sprinkled a little brown sugar around the base of the groundhog (to look like it was pushing up through the dirt.Step 4: I added a little more “grass” and brown sugar to the top of the groundhog’s head (again, to look like it had pushed up through the “dirt”.
Well, that's it for now. Happy Groundhog Day!
