Cupcake fun!

For our Young Women's activity tonight, the girls wanting to dabble a bit in cake decorating. They proposed they each bring a cake and learn to cover it with fondant, but I thought that would be too big a project for an hour, so I looked around a little and decided cupcakes would be the way to go. Learn fondant, on a very small scale, and get a few mini cakes to take home. It was perfect, they loved it!

These are the samples I made before the activity. We did one fully covered, like a cake, and the rest we just covered the top with fondant, so it still looked like a cupcake, but with that perfect fondant looking finish.

Here are the final products that I did before and during the activity. I did another fully covered one, with blue ocean looking fondant, with white waves around the base and little goldfish, and then another normal cupcake covered in pink with tie-dye flowers. And my rolling pin looked like it had been tie-dyed by the end of the night! It SORT OF came clean :)
The girls had a ton of fun, got food coloring everywhere, but loved it, so it was worth the mess :)
