This is the finished product. They are vanilla cupcakes with musk buttercream, flavoured with pastel colours and topped with a fondant lollipop. A lot of effort went into them but the cuteness was worth it.
Below are a couple of progress pics from yesterday
I love the colourful buttercream swirl the best - it reminds me of a Rainbow Paddle Pop. How did you tint and mix the various colours, without it becoming a grey mess? (if you don't mind sharing!!)
ReplyDeleteHi Louise! I used to love rainbow Paddlepops when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI should have taken a photo of the piping bag to show everyone how it mixed. What I did was make the buttercream, separate it into 4 bowls and colour it in similar shades to the cake mix. I then put a spoonful of each colour into the piping bag and tried to sort of layer them side by side so that when you push down on the piping bag it gets a little of each colour. None of them are even, but I wasn't sure how else to do it. I should have done my research better!
YES!! They turned out so well!! Love the rainbow icing swirl as well as the added lollipops!!
