My latest project for cupcakes is somewhat of a scandalous one... at work we got an order for cupcakes with lingerie on them for a literary society honoring some poet who was a known womanizer. In order to prepare, I practiced at home one night with the help of a friend. We made fondant out of marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar, and then designed a template for corsets. Our cupcakes were red velvet, so we used a cream cheese frosting for the tops. We iced them in white, then used a flesh colored icing with a round tip to put little boobs on them. The fondant we colored pink and purple, and cut into the shape of the corsets. We used black royal icing to pipe the details on them; I think they turned out great! Here are ours at home:
A few days later I went in to work to help my boss make the forty needed for the party. Here are the ones we came up with at work:
The homemade fondant was pretty cheap and easy to make, but it doesn't store well and was really messy. Overall, I had a ton of fun making these!
