Sparkling Fondant Cupcake Toppers
I recently did a Wizard of Oz, Over The Rainbow Theme party for my daughter’s fourth birthday. Happy Birthday Nora! I wanted to do a Pink Lemonade Cupcake and thought a cupcake topper representing Glinda, The Good Witch of The North would be perfect.
These toppers are so easy to make and were a big hit! My son ate a couple like cookies! 
Glinda the Good Witch of the North
What you need:
1 recipe Marshmallow Fondant
Pink gel food coloring
Pink Sparkling Sugar
Small food safe paint brush
Rolling pin (one which can be set to certain widths is helpful)
Powdered sugar (for surface dusting)
Star Cookie Cutter
What to do:
- Make and tint your Marshmallow Fondant
- Roll your fondant out to 1/4 inch on a surface dusted with powdered sugar
- Cut as many stars as needed
- using very little water, brush one side of a star
- sprinkle sugar all over star
- gently press sugar into fondant using your fingertips
- repeat with remaining stars
- let stars sit out on a cookie sheet overnight, covered with a paper towel, to harden
- the following day shake excess sugar from stars and store in a airtight container until you are ready to use them. Light will cause the fondant to fade so store in a cool, dry, dark place
- when storing, separate the layers of stars with parchment paper
- Put your toppers on cupcakes close to the time of display, the fondant will absorb moisture from frosting and soften
- this would work with any number of smaller shaped cookie cutters, when choosing a cutter make sure it is similar to the size of cupcake. 2 inch cutters generally work for regular cupcakes and 3 inch cutters for jumbo cupcakes
