Christmas Cupcakes

We're inching closer to that date, and I hope you've done your Christmas shopping... or at least asked Santa to do it for you. If you haven't, these amazingly cute cupcakes might just be enough to put a smile on someones face. I got an e-mail a few weeks ago from an anonymous reader and they attached a picture of some cupcake toppers. I thought I would re-create them with a few shortcuts. If you are said anonymous reader please e-mail me back so I can credit you:)
Happy Holidays everyone. What are your plans for Christmas this year?

Supplies:

~ 1/2 lb Fondant
Icing Colours (to dye fondant)
Round Cookie Cutter
Ginger Bread Cookie Cutter
Black Edible Writing Pen
Cupcakes with Icing
Imagination:)

Start by colouring your fondant in different shades. I used a peachy-beige (quite the techinical term for skin tone hah) for the elf and Santa, and a darker brown for the gingerbread man.
Go nuts. Use the fondant to add a hat, nose, eyes, excetera. The edible pen was used to add the finer detail.

Allow them to dry for a few hours, this just makes it easier to top your cupcakes:)
Finito! I think the elf is my favourite... he looks sneaky.
