Ingredients
- 12 Cupcakes
- 4 oz. Chocolate Fondant or, white fondant colored with brown gel food coloring
- Cornstarch for your fingers
- 8 tbsp butter (1 stick) softened
- 2 cups confectioner sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp cocoa
- 24 Candy eyes
- 12 Pink Candies
- Black or pink decorating frosting optional
Instructions
- Make sure you cupcakes are completely cool before starting the decorating process! Lay some wax paper on your working surface to keep everything organized.
- Cover your hands with a bit of cornstarch to avoid fondant sticking to your fingers. Roll your fondant in 24 round pieces – about ½ an inch in size. This will make two ears for each bear.
- Flatten each circle and shape them to resemble teddy bear ears. Lay the teddy bear ears on your wax paper as you make them.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioner sugar, milk and cocoa starting on a low speed. Gradually increase to high speed until the ingredients mix and become smooth.
- Using a frosting bag and Wilton tip #233, frost each cupcake. Cover the cupcake top entirely.
- Place googly eyes, one pink candy and two ears on each cupcake. You can also add a smile with black or pink frosting, but they look cute without too!
Cup of Yum
Notes
- If you want, you can also add a smile with black or pink decorating frosting. I thought the bears looked cute without the smile, though!
