Easy and fool-proof Elsa Frozen Cupcakes tutorial made with vanilla cupcakes, ready-made fondant, and candy melts! Excellent birthday party idea for kids!
5-6oz.baby blue fondant(If you can’t find it, you can take 4-5 oz. white fondant and add 2 small drops of sky blue gel food coloring to achieve the right shade)
Start the electric mixer on low and gradually increase to high. Once all the ingredients are well-combined and form semi-stiff peaks, the buttercream is done.
Place white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted, stirring between each interval.
Scoop the melted candy into a piping bag and pipe out snowflakes on the lined baking sheet.
To achieve the snowflake candy, start by piping out a one-inch line. Follow the line with an “X.”
Pipe out two dots on either side of the candy lines.
Allow the candy snowflakes to set.
To assemble one braid, roll out 3 spheres from the white fondant, about ½ an inch in size.
Roll out the spheres into long, thin strips, about 5 inches in length.
Press the tip of all three strips and braid.
Press the braid onto one edge of each cupcake, trimming with a paring knife where necessary. (Note: If the fondant isn’t sticky enough to press onto the cupcake, brush water on the back of the braid to secure.)
Use a toothpick to dot white buttercream on the back of the snowflake candies. Secure one on each cupcake.
