Black and White Wedding Cupcakes

Difficulty Level: Experienced

Show sophistication and flair with these simply designed black and white wedding cupcakes. Premade black fondant makes putting these beauties together very easy.

Bakery/Cake Goods needed:

• Your favorite batch of chocolate cupcakes


• Pre-made batch of fondant
  (since this fondant will be used to cover your cake, we recommend that you make a fresh recipe rather than use pre-made)


• Small amount of butter cream frosting

Cupcake Decorating Supplies:

• Pre-made batch of black tinted fondant
  (we used Duff Goldman’s Buttercream Fondant)


• Rolling Pin


• White decorative sugar pearls


• Small Flower Cutter


• Small knife


• Wax Paper


• Decorator Icing in a Tube
  (we used Wilton’s Decorating Icing in Black)


• Wilton #4 Round Tip


• Coupler Ring

Cupcake Icing Tools:

• 2” Round Cutter

Finishing Touches:

• Black and white design cupcake liners

Directions for making the flowers:

Step 1: With the small rolling pin, roll out the black fondant, with the floral/petal cutter, cut out flower shapes. Gently shape the flower using a shaping tool like a sponge. For detailed instructions, please see the flower cupcake decorations page.

Step 2: Place two to three white decorative sugar pearls in the center of each flower. Set aside.

Directions for Covering the Cupcake with fondant:

Step 1: With the rolling pin, roll out the white fondant on a flat surface.

Step 2: With the 2" cookie cutter, cut out round shapes from the fondant.

Step 3: Ice the tops of the cupcakes with a small amount of butter cream and lay a fondant circle on top.

Decorating the Cupcakes:

Step 1: Fit the opening of the decorator tube of black icing with the #4 round tip and coupler and pipe out a curl design on the surface of the cupcake. If you choose, you can add a sugar pearl at one of the ends of the icing curls.

Step 2: Place one small flower on top. If you choose to decorate with just flowers, pipe a small dab of icing on the surface of the cupcake where you want to set the flower. Place flower in the butter cream.
