These happened!!!!!
Wohooooo.
Okay recipe - The cupcakes are White Cupcakes, the same ones I used for the peanut butter cupcakes.
The frosting is butter cream.
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp yellow food coloring
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tbsp milk
and the Batman cutouts are from ready made fondant that I bought. But if you don't have readymade fondant, you can make it or you can make gumpaste. Recipe of gumpaste is given in the post about the Batman cookies.
Black food coloring is not available in the market. So mix equal parts of yellow, blue and red food coloring and voila. Black. :)
Some pointers -
1. Fondant sticks easy. So when working with Fondant, ALWAYS use parchment paper or if you don't have that then sprinkle your working counter with icing sugar. This should help the fondant to not stick.
2. The thinner your fondant, the easier it will be to work with. So make sure you roll it thin, but not so thin that it tears.
3. Fondant tears easy. So when working with fondant, it is important to refrigerate every step along the way. Refrigerate for 15 mins after carving, then refrigerate after painting it black.
4. I made the silliest mistake. I didn't let the paint dry and I put the fondant batman piece on the icing. DO NOT do that. The paint will run and make yellow full of spots of black, we don't want that. Let the paint dry and then carefully place the cut out on top of the icing.
