I attached a picture of some pieces from a game my nephew loves. We were going to put them on cupcakes for his birthday. I can't think of any good ways to make them though (and I'm not that good with fondant that I could just make the 3D figure of it). Any other ideas? I was thinking we may have to do them not 3D - just flat??

What about Chocolate Transfers? I love them for cupcakes & cookies, and they can be made ahead. These characters look like an easy outline.
You can look up the characters on Google for the artwork. Put it in PowerPoint or word or similar and size to cupcake sizes (about 2" give you good size without having to work too small). Copy and paste till you have filled a sheet.
Print out (in "mirror" if it matters to get the reverse). Tape to a cookie sheet, cover with parchment and tape that down too. Outline with black or white, put in the eyes and details and let dry for a bit. Then fill with either yellow or black. Let dry longer. Peel them off, flip over and stick in the frosting!
Edited to add: Outline and fill with chocolate melts...
I am so going to get that mold putty stuff today! New toys for me.. yeah!
THANKS all4cake! I appreciate that. I've really come to like making them and use them a lot now.
Except for my most HATED transfer...that blue Viking/Robin Hood thing. Mascot for my two nephews high school. They graduated a year apart so I had to make them twice....argh. Two different bluee, moustache, feather. wavy hair......told my SIL no more "Hermits".
Totallycaked, if you get the opportunity, and you're going to Michaels, would you check to see if they have the pourable one?
