I chose to make 4 different toppers for the cupcakes; a creeper face, TNT, red stone, and dirt. To start I baked all of the cupcakes and let them cool. For these cakes I made some vanilla cakes. I whipped up a few batches of buttercream icing and put that in the fridge while I started to get the toppers ready. If I haven't mentioned it before, I always have to make multiple batches of icing for any of my cakes because my mom says you have to have LOTS of icing on the cakes, and she also happens to steal icing because she loves it so much. Same with my brother-in-law J :) Either way, I began rolling out red, tan,brown, white, dark and 2 light greens, and black fondant. Once each were rolled out I used the corner of a square cutter and made small squares in each color. To make the red stone I made a big square in white and put a few small red squares on it. Next I made the creeper faces and started with a green bottom square and added dark and light green squares and black squares to make them look like faces. I then made the dirt/grass blocks by starting with tan bottom squares, and adding green and brown squares to make them look like blocks. Lastly I made TNT starting with a red large square at the bottom. I took my fondant tool and made it look like brick. I added a strip of white in the middle and wrote "TNT" on them. I added a square topper to each cupcake and hit the road to mean S to drop them off :) She let me know that her son loved them and knew exactly what they were! Let me know what you think!
