‘Tutorial Tuesday': How to make a sugarpaste cupcake!

What you will need:

Minature cupcake case
Sugarpaste in five different colours
A two inch scalloped cookie cutter
Small sprinkles
Edible glue
Taper cone tool
Toothpick

Step one: Mould a cupcake shaped base to fit into the minature cupcake case. Now place the sugarpaste inside the minature cupcake case pressing the sides in to create texture.

Step two: Mould a dome shape to create the top of your cupcake. Using the edible glue attach the top of the cupcake to the base.

Step three: Using the scalloped cookie cutter cut out your ‘icing’ from some contrasting sugarpaste. Paint the dome with edible glue then carefully place your ‘icing’ atop and mould.

Step four: Now it is time to make your cherry! Form a ball from a red or dark pink paste then press the taper tool into the top. This creates a small star shaped hole for the stem of your cherry.

Step five: Using a toothpick indent your cupcake where you would like to place your sprinkles and then push them in. You can use a tiny amount of edible glue to really hold the sprinkles in place. Paint a small blob of edible glue on top and attach your cherry.

Step six: Take a small piece of green sugarpaste and roll into a stem. Put some edible glue in atop your cherry and carefully attach the stem. Now you have a sugarpaste cupcake to adorn your baked goods with!

‘Tutorial Tuesday': How to make a sugarpaste mouse!

What you will need:
PME Shell tool
PME Blade tool
PME Ball tool
Various sugarpaste colours
Thin paintbrush
Toothpicks
Water and icing sugar (to make edible glue)

Step one: Knead your main sugarpaste colour and form into two somewhat pear shaped pieces. The large will be your mouse’s body and the smaller will be the head.

Step two: Insert a toothpick into the mouse’s body, paint some edible glue onto the neck and around the top of the toothpick. Place the smaller piece onto the body.

Step three: To make your mouse’s tummy roll out some contrasting sugarpaste in an oblong shape and glue to your mouse.

Step four: Now for you mouse’s ears! Make a small oblong shape with your main sugarpaste colour and stick a smaller oblong in a contrasting colour on top. Next cut in half.

Step five: Paint glue onto the sides of the head and attach the ears.

Step six: For the nose use the smaller end of the ball tool to make an indentation where the nose should be. Make a tiny ball of contrasting sugarpaste, paint on some edible glue and stick the little nose in place.

Step seven: Using some contrasting sugarpaste shape some tiny little hands and feet (they can be balls, oblonges or triangular shaped). To make cute little toes and fingers on your mouse use the shell tool!

Step eight: For the tail it best that the majority of it stick to the body as it is delicate and may snap off. Using the smaller ball tool make a large-ish indentation in the mouse’s bum. Roll out about 2 inches of contrasting sugarpaste into a tail shape and attach to the bum.

Step nine: Finally, using the small ball tool make some eyes. Yay! Now you have your own adorable little sugar paste mouse!

Coming soon! A tutorial on how to create the lovely little sugarpaste cupcake on which our mice are about to nibble!
