Impress guests at your kiddo’s next birthday bash with these DIY fondant Princess Jasmine Cupcake Toppers – totally inspired by one of my favorite Disney films!
“Indescribable feeling!”
If there are any movies from my childhood that I can remember with crystal clarity, they would definitely be Disney’s Beauty & the Beast and Aladdin. And no, it’s not just because I am a mega Disney fan (guilty as charged: I’ve watched those movies hundreds of times!). It’s because their story really resonated with me, even as a wee little one.
You can only imagine how thrilled I was when I heard about Aladdin’s upcoming live action remake this year. Now, it’s time to ring the alarm: its grand theatre release has arrived! To celebrate, I whipped-up these Aladdin-Inspired Cupcakes with my very own Princess Jasmine cupcake toppers.
My Princess Jasmine Cupcake Toppers are made of pure fondant – and you know what? They are tons of fun to make! Plus, they’re super easy to put together. Your kiddos will have a blast making these beautiful cupcakes with you.
Here’s my step-by-step guide on how to make your own!
How to Make Your Own Aladdin-Inspired Cupcakes with Princess Jasmine Cupcake Toppers
Aladdin-Inspired Cupcakes with Princess Jasmine Cupcake Toppers
Ingredients
- 12 vanilla cupcakes
- 8 oz. white fondant
- edible sparkle dust
- teal gel food coloring
- violet gel food coloring
- golden yellow gel food coloring
- buttercream frosting
Instructions
- Before you decorate your cupcakes, sure they’re completely cool to the touch
- Divide your fondant – you’ll need to separate it into one 4 oz. spheres and two 2 oz. spheres.
- Color one of your 4 oz. fondant spheres with your violet gel food coloring and the other, with the teal gel food coloring. Your remaining 2 oz. should be colored with yellow gel food coloring.
- Roll out your purple fondant with a rolling pin until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Use a circular cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out 12 fondant circles.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the fondant so that it’s ¼ of an inch thick.
- Using a paring knife, cut out 12 strips, about 3 inches wide and ½ an inch thick.
- Place one strip on the center of each purple circle, giving it a slight arch. Press down to secure and trim excess where necessary.
- Roll your yellow fondant into ½ inch spheres – you will need 12 of them.
- Slightly flatten each yellow sphere and shape it into a teardrop. Give it an indentation in the center.
- Press one yellow fondant piece on each headband, right in the center.
- With your remaining teal fondant, roll out one dozen ¼ spheres.
- Flatten each sphere slightly and place one on top of the yellow portion of the headband.
- Lightly brush the edible silver glitter on the fondant jewels.
- Using an offset spatula, frost each cupcake.
- Add one Princess Jasmine cupcake topper on each cupcake.
Step 1: Cool Down
Stop and wait! Before you even consider decorating your cupcakes, you have to make sure that they’re completely cool to the touch – otherwise, all of your decorations will melt off!
Step 2: Color Your Fondant
Divide your fondant – you’ll need to separate it into one 4 oz. spheres and two 2 oz. spheres.
Color one of your 4 oz. fondant spheres with your violet gel food coloring and the other, with the teal gel food coloring. Your remaining 2 oz. should be colored with yellow gel food coloring.
Step 3: Start By Making the Base
Roll out your purple fondant with a rolling pin until it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Use a circular cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out 12 fondant circles.
Step 4: Make Jasmine’s Beautiful Headband
Now, it’s time to roll the teal fondant. With a rolling pin, roll out the fondant so that it’s ¼ of an inch thick.
Using a paring knife, cut out 12 strips, about 3 inches wide and ½ an inch thick.
Place one strip on the center of each purple circle, giving it a slight arch. Press down to secure and trim excess where necessary.
Step 5: All Those Jewels!
Time to make the shiny stuff!
Roll your yellow fondant into ½ inch spheres – you will need 12 of them.
Slightly flatten each yellow sphere and shape it into a teardrop. Give it an indentation in the center.
Press one yellow fondant piece on each headband, right in the center.
With your remaining teal fondant, roll out one dozen ¼ spheres.
Flatten each sphere slightly and place one on top of the yellow portion of the headband.
Step 6: All That Sparkles
Lightly brush the edible silver glitter on the fondant jewels.
Step 7: Frost the Cupcakes
Using an offset spatula, frost each cupcake.
Step 8: Top it Off with the Toppers!
Add one Princess Jasmine cupcake topper on each cupcake.
