How to Make Tinkerbell Cupcakes

Tinkerbell is a classic children's book character and the fairy companion of Peter Pan. The character has appeared in numerous movies including animated and live-action versions of "Peter Pan" as well as other animated series starring the fairy. Tinkerbell merchandise is often used at Tinkerbell-themed parties for children, which can include Tinkerbell desserts, including cupcakes. Make your own Tinkerbell cupcakes to surprise your children or for a Tinkerbell party by using fondant and Tinkerbell figurines you can purchase. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Purchase cupcake liners in a tulip shape, which gives the cupcakes the appearance of emerging from a flower. Find such liners through assorted bakery supply sites.

Place the cupcake liners in a cupcake baking tray. Make cupcake batter in the flavor of your choice (vanilla, yellow, chocolate, strawberry, etc.) and pour it into each of the liners. Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions.

Frost the cupcakes with natural hues, such as forest green and sunlight yellow. Make fondant decorations for the tops of some of the cupcakes. Ideas for fondant shapes include flowers, leaves and fairy wings.

Place small, plastic Tinkerbell figurines, such as those of Tinkerbell kneeling on a flower, on cupcakes that do not contain the fondant pieces.

Tips

- Keep some cupcakes free of decorations if desired to spell out "Happy Birthday" or other special messages. Paper versions of the character may also be used to decorate cupcake tops.
