Sword Cupcakes

Sword Cupcakes

The other day I am sitting at home, minding my own business, when I get a text from my sister, 'Can you make me Persain War cupcakes?'. My first thought when reading this text was, what is a 'Persian War cupcake'? Well, after some thinking I decided a sword would work well. So this is how I went about making sword cupcakes.

I started by making vanilla cupcakes using my usual recipe, which you can find on Cookie in a Cupcake  post and I piped a swirl of vanilla icing on top.

My next step was taking white fondant and rolling it out to be about an 1/8 inch thick.
Using 2 1/4 inch cookie cutters I cut out 24 fondant circles.

I then drew my swords. To do this I took a tube of gold and a tube of black decorating icing. I drew one small black line a little below the center of the circle. 

I then connected another black line going in the opposite direction to create the handle of the sword.

Once the handle is completed, it is time to draw the blade of the sword. I found the easiest way to do this was to take your gold decorating icing and draw three separate lines. Your first line should be  a long line from the edge of your handle to just below the top of the circle. The line should be even with the line of the handle.

To finish the blade, take the gold decorating icing and draw two thin lines on each side of the center line. Make these two lines end a little bit earlier than your middle line to give the tip of the sword a point.

Lastly, take your fondant circles with your beautifully drawn swords and gently place them atop the iced cupcakes. 

And that's it! Simple sword cupcakes for all your weaponry cupcake needs. Next time someone needs pirate desserts, edible video game weaponry, or Persian War cupcakes, you will be able to deliver.

Happy baking and

Don't forget to put a burry on it!
