Day of the Dead Fondant Cupcake Tutorial

October 31, 2014 By Lynlee

Dead of the Dead fondant cupcake tutorial ~ Lynlee's

The Mex­i­can tra­di­tion of remem­ber­ing and hon­or­ing those who have been lost, referred to as the Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muer­tos, is tak­ing place in the next few days. A few weeks ago, I shared a dessert table I styled in hon­or of the release of the new ani­mat­ed movie The Book of Life {in con­junc­tion with Cost Plus World Mar­ket} inspired by the film’s gor­geous and vibrant graph­ics and char­ac­ters, along with rec­og­niz­able ele­ments of the cul­tur­al cel­e­bra­tion. My daugh­ter, Anabelle, and I final­ly made it to the dri­ve-in last night to watch the movie and it was as cute and beau­ti­ful as promised!

One of the most icon­ic sym­bols of the Dia de los Muer­tos cel­e­bra­tion is the sug­ar skull. There was such a great response to the sug­ar skull fon­dant top­per I made for the styled table that I decid­ed to share a tuto­r­i­al to recre­ate it on the Craft­sy blog! Head on over to get the full step-by-step tuto­r­i­al for the Day of the Dead fon­dant top­per for your own memo­r­i­al cel­e­bra­tion, as you hold the loved ones you have lost near and dear to your hearts.
