Hi, everyone,

I have to make cupcakes for my husband's work with this symbol. I was thinking of doing a swirl of buttercream and then placing a round piece of white fondant laying on top. Then on the circle I was going to trace the fondant into the face in the colors they requested, which are green and gold. What a pain to have to cut out all those little cut outs, though. It's only ten cupcakes, but does anyone have a good idea on how to do this?

I only need to do one transformer. They just sent the picture with all the different colors.

Thanks,

Michele

I would say fondant and edible markers would be the easiest way. T least that way you can get the way you want it without having to do all the cutouts.

How many cupcakes? I have an edible image printer, that would be my first line of defense for something like that. I have done edible images on cupcakes and they work great. I let the sheet dry a couple of days and took an exacto knife and cut out the image and smeared a thin layer of BC where I wanted it to adhere.

For extra pop you can use the image, once on the surface as a pattern and RI over it.

Just a thought

I would say chocolate transfers. It is just like making frozen buttercream transfer but you are using chocolate. Chocolate melts come in different color, they are fun and everyone can eat. Who doesn't love chocolate.


here is a link to show how to make chocolate transfers

What about doing a cupcake cake? You could just do one large transformers image that way and maybe just draw it on a paper and then do the pin ##### method. Outline in one color and then fill it in with whatever color you choose...

How much would you charge for a cupcake cake (equivalent size as a 12x18 sheet cake)?

for the transformer logo I would either do a chocolate transfer. You can adjust the size of the logo, lay wax paper/parchment over your printed paper, trace the logo with chocolate, let dry and then place on cupcakes.

Could do same thing with royal icing also.
