How to Make Flip Flop toppers

The past few days I've woken to rainstorm & rolling thunder.
I've driven to what seems to be a beautiful day that suddenly turns into a heavy downpour.
The rainy season has officially arrived.

But I guess here in the Philippines, summer not only starts early but takes forever to end.
Hence, a luau themed party - the last hurrah for summer.

I made cute flip flop toppers in different colors.
It has become a fashion statement that never goes out of style.
And you can wear it any season - be it rain or shine.=)

The first few pairs I made before

So allow me to share how I made this cutesies.

Here's what you'll need :

And how it's done....

 
Now you can say goodbye for now to the sun and welcome the rain.=)

***By the way, the fondant that was left after cutting the sole of 1 pair of flip flops looked like...

.......a Batman logo, right?

  That's another tutorial for you.....***wink***

How to make a Ballerina tutu topper

If a royal theme party is not your thing and your little girl loves ballet so much, why not throw a Ballet theme party instead?=)

Remember my friend Globelle?  She planned to surprise her daughter Ashley, who is so into ballet, with a ballerina themed party.

She has performed onstage with Prima Ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde already.

She wanted a ballet shoes topper and I was thinking of a tutu dress.
Tutu, ballet shoes, tutu, ballet shoes....
Who's is the customer here?!
I decided to make both.

 

Here's what you will need :

A ballerina figure for the cake. 

 

Now they are ready to go on top of your prepared cake and cuppies.

How to Make Minnie Mouse Topper

Aside from Hello Kitty, the most number of cake inquiries I get are either of Mickey or Minnie Mouse.
The first time I made a Mickey Mouse clubhouse theme , I just eyeballed everything.

Mickey looked like it was going to fall and Pluto didn't look like Pluto at all.=)

I was almost sure Mickey would tire of his position and eventually lie down. haha

 I was just starting then - no formal training at all - just playing around, trying out stuff I can do with fondant.
Now I am more confident with all the articles, tutorials, blogs I read on the world wide web - thank God for internet!=)


Just recently I was asked to do a Minnie Mouse theme cake and I figured, why not make a tutorial on how I made the topper.

***Sorry for the poor quality of the images, it was hard having to take pictures of every step I did.

So here goes.....

1.  Fondant colors you will need.

2. Legs and shoes

3. Body

 

  4. Arms

5. Head/Face

6.  Eyes - this part I am not quite satisfied.  If I would do this again, I'd straighten the bottom part of the eyes, lower the eyeballs a little more and attach the whole thing (eyes a teeny bit closer to each other ) just above the nose. ( Get it?...good )

Minnie looked surprised here....tsk, tsk,,,eyes too round and far from each other.

So there....but without the ribbon, it might be mistaken for Mickey ( wearing Minnie's dress ).

Next time I'll post a tutorial on how to make ribbon/bows.=)

How to make the White Angry Bird

1st post for the year.
Last post for the Angry bird tutorial.
We are done with the yellow angry bird, red angry bird, and of course the pigs.

Been busy with orders I have neglected posting.=(
Good thing I did'nt make a resolution to post more often.
But I have to.....gets the stress off me.

Let's get started.

Fondant colors needed :

Make an egg shape of your white fondant

Make the "feather" crown by rolling black fondant to a tear drop shape and flatten a bit.

Indent 3 lines.

Make the beak.

Make two small circle out of your yellow fondant and attach to the cheek together with the beak.

The eyes are just white fondant circles on top of the black ones.  Just make sure that the white circle is placed slightly above the black.

Then glue in place.

Prepare long eyelashes.=)

Attach on each eye.

 Prepare the eyeballs and place in the middle of each eye.

Poke a small hole on center top of its head and place the "feather" we made earlier.

Done!

Easy peasy.=)

Enjoy!
