Is anyone else excited that Futurama is back? I AM– hence the effort I put into making these Futurama theme cupcakes.
For these toppers I used Wilton Edible Writers on hard fondant disks. The cool thing about edible writers is that you can use them to doodle, and they are safe to eat. Personally, I’m not a big fan of fondant, but they make for a perfect canvas. Instead of using fondant to fully cover your cupcakes, you can make disks to top your cupcakes.
Fondant Disks
-Roll out fondant to 1/4″ thick, and cut out desired shape using cookie cutter. Allow to dry on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet for 4-5 hours.
How to Draw Bender:
Tutorial for Bender (and other Futurama characters) here
I’m going to make it a little easier for you to try this at home… I’m giving away 5 packs of Wilton Edible Writers to 5 lucky readers.
Details:
- Leave a comment on this post and tell me what you would doodle if you had them– thats it! (don’t forget to leave contact details in case you win)
- Deadline to enter is Monday, July 19 at 5:00 p.m. ET
- FIVE winners will be chosen at random, and announced on Monday night.
(p.s) Wilton isn’t sponsoring this post, I just think their product is pretty cool.
