INGREDIENTS

  • Cupcakes
  • Buttercream - Either Vanilla or White Chocolate
  • Food Colouring - Green and Black or Grey - I used Sugaflair Holly Green for the grass and liqourice for the pathway but any similar colours will be fine.
  • Piping Bag
  • Grass Nozzle
  • Small rolling pin
  • Small knife or bladed fondant tool

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make the cupcakes and buttercream as per your chosen recipe
  • Make the fondant path by colouring some of your fondant grey using either black or grey food colouring. Don't worry about getting the colour even as a slight variation in colour in the fondant will give your path some texture.
    Thinly roll the fondant and cut a strip a couple of centimetres wide. Trim the ends of the fondant path so that it's the length of your cupcake.
    Use your blade tool/knife to score lines into the path to represent bricks/paving stones.

  • Add a little green food colouring to your buttercream and mix until it is evenly coloured.
  • Spread a small amount of the green buttercream on top of your cupcake.

  • Place the fondant path on top of the buttercream.

  • Fill a piping bag fitted with a grass nozzle with the remaining green buttercream and then pipe grass either side of the path.
    Green buttercream is piped either side of the fondant path using a grass nozzle to look like grass.
  • Place your fondant corgi onto the path.
