Supplies

Fondant

Food Colors

Small knife

Popsicle Stick

Water or Clear Vanilla or Almond Flavoring

A small spatula tool is optional. I purchased a tool for a cricket maker to lift my fondant pieces off the counter. You can see a picture of the example below.

The Fondant

My favorite brands of fondants can be purchased online. You can use the fondant from the arts and craft store if you like. The Wilton brand works but in my opinion, it does not taste as well. I always order white and add food coloring to it. This will save you money.

Satin Ice Vanilla Fondant

Fonderific Wedding White Fondant

Wilton Fondant

Food Coloring. This is a set but you can order small bottles for $5. It only takes a tiny bit to create soft colors.

The Coat Hangers

1. Take a small ball of the fondant. I added a tiny amount of black Americolor Food Color to get a soft grey color. Roll out your fondant until thin.

 

2. Shape the fondant into the shape of a coat hanger. cut off the excess.

The Bridesmaid Dress

1. Color your fondant the color desired. Roll the fondant into an even thickness circle.

2. Cut the fondant into the shape of the dress top. I like to draw a template onto a piece of paper first.

3. Place dress top onto the hanger and fold the dress straps over the hanger.

4. Attach the dress straps to the hanger with a very small amount of water or vanilla flavoring. The liquid will act as a glue. You can use a paintbrush or your finger.

5. Attach a Popsicle stick to the back of the dress with a small amount of water or vanilla flavoring. I like to use a small spatula to move the fondant pieces around.

The Skirt

1. Roll fondant into a thin circle. Use a pan or bowl to cut out the circle.

2. Use a small circle shape to cut out the circle in the center of the fondant. This small hole is where you will stick the bridesmaid dress on the Popsicle stick into.

3. Drape the dress skirt over the cupcake. It should naturally fall into a skirt shape. Be sure and get it centered correctly before placing onto the cupcake.

 

4. Stick the dress top into the skirt.

5.  Make a belt for the dress the same way you made the hanger. Attach the belt with a very tiny amount of water or vanilla flavoring.

This bridesmaid dress cupcake is so fun to make. I think your guest will love the cupcakes.
