Did you know it's easy to make your own cupcake toppers with just stamps and fondant? If you can do toddler play-doh time, you can do this. Amazon is filled with cookie cutter stamps. Here's a curated list of some good ones! The key is to look for ones that have a plunger or some way to remove the fondant from the mold.



So, no matter your child's chosen party theme - in my child's case it was Pokémon - there's a stamp for that. Buy white fondant, cut and stamp it, spray on or shake on some edible gold and you're good to go!
I didn't even use a rolling pin or fondant roller. I watched a TV show and flattened little discs by hand then stamped. The stamp does all the work.
I used store-bought strawberry cake mix then added my go-to vanilla buttercream frosting.
Perfect Vanilla Frosting Recipe:
Ingredients
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened
small pinch of sea salt
1.5 lbs (24oz) powdered sugar
1 TBSP vanilla extract
3 TBSP cream or milk
Directions
Beat butter on medium-high speed for 6 minutes.
Set to low speed and add salt, powdered sugar, and milk until incorporated.
Turn mixer back up to medium-high speed and beat an additional 6 minutes.
So, basically...
Bake cupcakes, make frosting, pipe frosting, stamp some fondant, shake on some glitter.... It's that's easy to make your child and their friends smile (and save yourself a ton of money ordering from a bakery!).
