How to Make Golden Angel Cupcake Toppers

I not sure you've noticed. But I love lists. A list loving person, I am. Give me a task, I will surely grab a pen and paper first and break it down to mini tasks. Then further break the mini tasks down to micro mini tasks. The previous sentence is not really true. But the first two are. 

Anyway, my current list now involves the question: what are the things I love about Christmas? Hmmm let's see...

• Puto Bumbong
• Bibingka
• Crema de Fruta
• Christmas lights
• Giving gifts
• Parol ornaments
• Santa Claus
• Candy Canes
• Chrismas Carols

Ooohh definitely Christmas Carols! I love how in the Philippines, you get to hear Christmas songs as early as September 1st! Definitely brings a spring to my step.

A song that I rarely hear now but defintely loved as a kid was the Christmas Alphabet. Don't you love this song? Here's a clip from Youtube.

And yes, A is for the heavenly, sweet and oh so pretty Angels. Want to make some cupcake version of them this Christmas? Here's how :)

Here's how:
(1) Roll a ball from the ivory fondant

(2) Next, shape an inverted cone from the fondant

(3) Using a toothpick, attach the body to the head

(4) Cut out petals to serve as wings

(5) Attach to the angel and brush with gold luster dust.

Here they are! :)
