Ingredients
- 12 prepared cupcakes (your favorite recipe)
- 1 batch of buttercream frosting (homemade or store-bought)
- Red food coloring
- Assorted fondant colors for gnome details (beige, white, black, and blue or your choice of colors)
- Edible food markers (optional)
- Sprinkles for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- If you haven’t already, prepare your favorite batch of cupcakes and allow them to cool completely. Similarly, ensure your buttercream frosting is ready for use.
- Tint your buttercream frosting with the red food coloring to reach the desired shade of red for the gnome hats. Set aside a small portion of untinted frosting for later details.
- Carefully cut a small divot out of the top center of each cupcake for the gnome’s nose. The remaining top will support the “hat.”
- Apply the red buttercream frosting over the top of the cupcake, creating a smooth dome shape for the gnome’s hat. A small spatula or knife helps to create a smooth surface.
- Roll out the beige fondant and cut out small circles for the gnome’s nose. Place a fondant circle in each divot you created on the cupcakes.
- Use the remaining fondant colors to create the details for your gnomes, such as eyes, beard, and any additional features you prefer. Use the untinted buttercream to help these details adhere if necessary.
- Add character to your gnomes by drawing details with edible food markers. Use your creativity here – no two gnomes need to look alike!
- Finalize your gnome cupcakes with decorative sprinkles for a touch of magic, if desired.
