while i was playing with frosting, i also decided to buy some fondant and try out my new cherry blossom mold. it worked wonders. i decided to make a box for my friend's birthday. i made white and pink cherry blossoms, and covered the tops of the cupcakes with fondant as well, in either blue or pink. i did a crumble layer of frosting on top, so i could get a smooth finish when i put the fondant on.  i then used some pearlized dust to give the cupcakes some sparkle.
