What You Will Need:

12 of your favorite vanilla cupcakes (we baked ours in gold cupcake liners)
4-6 oz. Black Fondant
1 stick butter, softened
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2-3 tbsp milk

Yields: One dozen decorated cupcakes

How To Make The Mustache Cupcakes

Before decorating, ensure your cupcakes are cool to the touch. This will ensure that everything stays put.

To make one fondant mustache: roll out two spheres out of your black fondant. They should be about ½ an inch in size each.

Roll out each sphere into cylinders, about 1 inch in width.
Slightly flatten out each fondant cylinder and pinch one end, giving it a point.
Curl up the point slightly.

Do it on your other cylinder, pointing the opposite side.
Score some lines on each mustache side using a toothpick.

Using an electric mixer, beat together butter, confectioners’ sugar and milk. Start the speed on low and increase to high.
Scoop the buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton tip #12 attached. Frost the center of each cupcake.
