Aladdin-Inspired Cupcakes with Princess Jasmine Cupcake Toppers

Servings: 12 cupcakes

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.
