Sending All My Love Valentine Fondant Cupcake Tutorial

January 31, 2012 By Lynlee

 Hap­py New Year, sweet friends! Okay, so it’s already been a month since we wel­comed 2012, but the start to this new year has been extreme­ly busy! And now that Feb­ru­ary is just a day away, I thought I’d kick it off with a tuto­r­i­al to make fon­dant cup­cake top­pers for your Valen­tine. Last year, my daugh­ter and I made some “For­tu­nate to Have a Friend Like You” Valen­tine treats, which were a big hit! This year, I’ve seen lots of adorable Valen­tine and par­ty ideas out there to facil­i­tate in spread­ing the love, includ­ing a fab­u­lous col­lec­tion of free print­a­bles avail­able at the inspi­ra­tion-filled Catch My Par­ty. Be sure to click on the link to vis­it the site for a large selec­tion of designs by some of the most tal­ent­ed design­ers! And did I mean­tion ~ free?! These “Send­ing All My Love” top­pers will help cov­er all your bases with a love let­ter, a fly­ing heart and blown kisses!
Sup­plies you will need:
  • Red and white fondant
  • Rolling pin
  • Oval cut­ters (I uti­lized two sizes)
  • Heart and but­ter­fly-shaped cutters
  • Large square cutter
  • Food safe brush & water
  • Round tip (in this case, I used Wilton tip 12)
  • Fon­dant or piz­za cutter
  • Small spat­u­la
  • Mod­el­ing stick (or tooth­pick or any “pointy” tool you might have in the kitchen)

Start out by rolling some red fon­dant into a ball and press­ing it down on a flat sur­face until it is approx­i­mate­ly 1/2″ thick. Cut out an oval shape with the larg­er cut­ter and begin to pinch the shape on both sides to cre­ate the sides of the mouth.

At the same time, use your fin­gers to soft­en the perime­ter of the mouth to round it out. With a heart cut­ter, posi­tion the top in the mid­dle of the fon­dant lips and light­ly press to make an inden­ta­tion. Cre­ate a small sep­a­ra­tion at the top of the lips with the small spat­u­la and fin­ish the kiss­ing lips with the mod­el­ing stick through the center.

You can repeat the process with the small­er oval cut­ter to make small lips for blown kisses!

Mov­ing on to the heart with wings top­per, roll out some more red fon­dant (approx. 1/4″ thick) and cut out a heart shape with the cut­ter and put it aside.

Roll out some white fon­dant and uti­lize the but­ter­fly cut­ter to punch out the shape to uti­lize as wings. With the spat­u­la, cut the but­ter­fly shape in half and space the two halves so that they would con­tour the heart. Trim off the excess with the heart shape cut­ter. Brush some water on the wings and attach them to the red heart and allow it to dry.

For the quill heart decor, roll out more white fon­dant about 1/8″ thick (you can see I like to use rolling pin guide rings to keep it con­sis­tent and flat across) and cut out a strip about 1/4″ wide with the rolling cut­ter. I mea­sured about 4 inch­es and then turned it upside down and added some water with the brush to both ends of the strip.

Begin to roll both sides inward until they come togeth­er, while posi­tion­ing the bot­tom into a point for the bot­tom of the heart. Add a bit more water to attach the two quilled sides together.

Attach it to the winged heart by brush­ing water to the back and plac­ing it in the cen­ter of the red heart.

You can play around with the quilling process and make addi­tion­al hearts in all dif­fer­ent col­ors and sizes!

For the love let­ter and enve­lope, roll out white fon­dant 1/8″ thick, cut out a square with the cut­ter and then cut it in half once again.

Turn the square cut­ter on a 45 degree angle and posi­tion it over the fon­dant rec­tan­gle, mak­ing sure one side is right up to the edge of the shape to make the fold of the enve­lope. Trim off the excess to make the enve­lope even. Then roll out some red fon­dant and repeat steps to cut it to scale with the enve­lope, but avoid­ing the inden­ta­tion step.

With the remain­ing red fon­dant, punch out a small cir­cle with the size 12 tip and start pinch­ing it togeth­er at one end to cre­ate the bot­tom of the heart. With the spat­u­la, cre­ate an inden­ta­tion for the top of the heart and glue it onto the enve­lope. Brush some addi­tion­al water to the bot­tom of the enve­lope to attach to the red letter.

Hop­ing these cup­cakes and top­pers will help you send all your love to your Valen­tines and make their day all that much sweeter!!! ♥

Merci Beaucoup!
