Binky Baby ~ Fondant Pacifier Tutorial

By

Approx­i­mate­ly 370,000 babies are born world­wide each day, so it comes as no sur­prise that one of my most com­mon inquiries is the fon­dant paci­fi­er top­per! They make the per­fect embell­ish­ment for baby show­er treats and are rather sim­ple to make. And the best part is that they are not gen­der specific!

I’m super excit­ed to share this tuto­r­i­al because, not only is it such a pop­u­lar request, it’s one of the tuto­ri­als fea­tured in my upcom­ing book! The offi­cial release date is sched­uled for April 2014, but pre-sales will begin very soon! Please make sure you are fol­low­ing here on the blog {you can sign up for an e‑mail newslet­ter here on the right side­bar}, as well as Face­book, Twit­ter and Insta­gram for all the updates.

Fondant Pacifier Tutorial

Mate­ri­als Needed:

  • fon­dant (blue/pink and white)

Cut­ters Needed:

  • ⅞‑inch round cutter
  • round tips #1 and #3
  • medi­um heart cutter
  • large oval cutter

Tools Need­ed:

  • rolling pin/⅛‑inch guide rings
  • 2 wood­en dowels
  • small mod­el­ing stick

Pacifier Tutorial ~ Lynlee's

Roll out white fon­dant thick with the rolling pin and wood­en dow­els. Cut out a ⅞‑inch cir­cle with the round cut­ter and roll it into a ball. With your fin­gers, roll it into a cylin­der, then nar­row the bot­tom to form the nip­ple {a}.

Roll out blue/pink fon­dant with the rolling pin ⅛‑inch thick and cut out a medi­um heart with the cut­ter. Use the large oval cut­ter to trim the bot­tom off the heart and use your fin­gers to round out the bot­tom to form the plas­tic disc of the paci­fi­er. Use round tip #3 cut out 2 cir­cles on each side of the heart towards the top and the small mod­el­ing stick to round out the inside of the hole {b}. Set both pieces aside until they are both fair­ly hard.

Roll out blue/pink fon­dant with the rolling pin ⅛‑inch thick and cut out a ⅞‑inch cir­cle with the cut­ter. Use the bot­tom of one of the round tips to trim off the top of cir­cle to form the paci­fi­er han­dle. Use round tip #1 to indent lit­tle cir­cles around the han­dle {a}.

Roll out white fon­dant thick with the rolling pin and wood­en dow­els and cut out a cir­cle with the bot­tom of a round tip. Round it out a bit, then shape it into a rec­tan­gle. Use the small mod­el­ing stick to make holes on each side of the rec­tan­gle (length­wise) {b}. Apply glue to the inside of the holes and around one end of the rec­tan­gle, then insert the 2 tips of the blue/pink handle.

As soon as the paci­fi­er nip­ple and disc are hard enough, glue them togeth­er, then glue the han­dle to the oppo­site side {c}. Allow to dry thoroughly.

  1. I need your help. I am going to be a grand­moth­er two times over. My old­est daugh­ter is hav­ing a boy due Oct. 5, 2013 and likes the Theme of Sim­ba from Dis­ney The Lion King. Do you have any ideas of what I could do for his baby shower?
    My youngest daugh­ter is due on Dec. 1, 2013 and they are plan­ning on nam­ing her Wil­low. They got mar­ried this year and had an out­door wed­ding. They had an Cam­ou­flage wed­ding using the Mossy Oak Print with choco­late brown, bright orange, and hunter green as their col­ors. Now that they are hav­ing a girl they would like to use the Mossy Oak print and hot pink for her crib bed­ding and room decor. I could do some­thing along those lines, or do some­thing with the baby’s name Wil­low keep­ing in mind that she is due in Dec. Do you have any sug­ges­tions? Have you done any of these themes before?
    Please email me if you have any ideas. I would appre­ci­ate your help for some good ideas.
    Thank You,
    Debbie

  3. Hi,

    I was won­der­ing how long you can keep these in an air tight con­tain­er? I have my baby show­er in Novem­ber and would like to make and store pri­or if possible?

    Kind regards
    Robyn

    • Hi Robyn! Fon­dant can actu­al­ly last quite a long time! I have made top­pers 2–3 weeks pri­or to an event. Just keep in mind that if you store them in an air­tight con­tain­er, they might remain a bit soft, as opposed to leav­ing them out to dry, at which point they will be hard. It depends on your preference! 🙂

  4. Thank you SO MUCH! For this Binky tuto­r­i­al! Got an order for a show­er cake with binkys and did­n’t have the slight­est notion of how to start cre­at­ing them. They turned out adorable! Thank you again! I’ll be post­ing the cake by the 13th of Decem­ber if you want to take a peek. My FB is Tere­sa’s Oat­meal Over­board. Blessings!

  6. Your step by step instruc­tions are great. I just made the binkys and they came out awe­some. Thanks
