Christmas Pudding Cupcake Topper Tutorial/ Christmas Cupcake Decorating Idea

Hi everyone. In this video I show you to how to make this super cute Christmas pudding cupcake topper. Below is a list of all the items that I use in this tutorial.

So the topper itself is made from modelling paste. This is stronger than sugarpaste (fondant) and also sets harder. This this therefore easier to model with and is less delicate once set. You can get coloured modelling paste, but I mostly used white and coloured it food colouring pastes. The only other colour I used is black as that it’s a really hard colour to make up, and green, just because I already had it.

Although I used modelling paste to make the facial features, you would probably get away with some normal fondant if it’s firm enough. This is because as it is flat it doesn’t need strength to hold a structure.

Lastly, just to add a little sparkle I used some edible pearl lustre dust to the top of the pudding.
