Ingredients

cupcakes (lemon, classic vanilla, or coffee flavor (see p.18, p.26, or p.27)) 1 portion

fondant icing (see p.68; use coffee flavor for coffee cupcakes) 1 portion

royal icing (see p.16) 2 tbsp

gel food coloring (dark brown and pink) to taste

Instructions

Prepare the cupcakes

Bake the cupcakes and let them cool completely. Cover with light pink fondant icing (use coffee-flavored icing for coffee cupcakes). Let dry for at least 1 hour.

Prepare the icing

Tint half of the royal icing dark brown; if it is too thin, add sifted powdered sugar. Transfer the brown icing to a piping bag fitted with a small star tip. Place the remaining white royal icing in a second piping bag.

Decorate the cupcakes

Use the brown icing to pipe 1950s-style dresses (with a fitted waist and full skirt) on some of the cupcakes. Pipe high heels and handbags on the remaining cupcakes. Use the white icing to add details such as the dress patterns, bag clasps, and shoe stitching.
