Fondant Lantern Tutorial for Chinese New Year Cupcakes!

February 16, 2015 By Lynlee

Chinese Lantern fondant topper tutorial ~ Lynlee's

So I’m pret­ty sure the biggest ques­tion on your mind these days with the approach of Lunar New Year is: Is this the year of the goat or the sheep?! 😉 I’m sor­ry to report that I don’t have a defin­i­tive answer for you. My friend Kris from kCre­ative also tried to resolve this conun­drum with her adorable cake pop tuto­r­i­al on the Craft­sy blog and I think the over­all con­sen­sus is that it can be either one!

What's Your Sign Lunar New Year Party ~ Lynlee's

A cou­ple of years ago, my fam­i­ly and I cel­e­brat­ed the New Year, along with my grand­moth­er’s birth­day with this What’s Your Sign par­ty, filled with Chi­nese inspired decor and food! My moth­er’s side of the fam­i­ly is Chi­nese, mak­ing this a spe­cial time of year for us, so I want­ed to cre­ate anoth­er fon­dant top­per that would work per­fect­ly with Chi­nese New Year cup­cakes. Since last time I cre­at­ed top­pers repli­cat­ing all the ani­mals of the lunar cal­en­dar, this time I focused a rec­og­niz­able ele­ment in the world­wide cel­e­bra­tions: the Chi­nese lantern!
