They were plain vanilla cupcakes with buttercream on with the toppers each being handmade out of fondant. It was a time consuming process but I was really happy with the results :)
My favourites were Father Christmas, the snowman face, the Christmas pudding and Rudolph. They were probably the hardest to make but I think six of those would be a really nice present for people that you want to give something to but don't really know them well enough to get something physical (there aren't many people who wont be happy with something they can eat).
Another small change I considered for next year was doing them all as baubles and just changing the design. You could work to a specific colour scheme or do each one aimed at a particular member of the family.I took these into work for our Christmas staff meeting (it started at 9am on a Sunday which is definitely too early not to have cake).
If I did these again I would try and either limit the amount of fondant I used or try to find a way to put more buttercream on as the ratio was a bit wrong and they ended up very sweet :/ Some people really like that shall we just say I wouldn't give them to my sisters if I was looking after them for the rest of the day ;)I know this is entirely wrong season but its never too early to start planning right?
