How to Make Watermelon Cupcake Toppers

Fact: Julia Child started her career as a respected celebrity chef when she first starred in her very own cooking show. At the age of 50. 

Fact: Yup, 50 years old. 

Reading between the lines: Better late than never.

Why am sharing this? Aside from the fact that I love Julia Child, I need a good explanation as to why I am posting a summer themed post when summer is almost over (Or is not "almost"? Is summer really over already? Not sure if that loud rain happening outside my window is an indicator. 

Oh well, yep, better late than never indeed. 

This is what I call "huling hirit sa tag-init", my last summer hoorah or end of summer salvo. Because right up this minute I still haven't even had a proper summer post. Which is really sad so I am making up for lost time. Humor me. Pretty please. 

Today we're making watermelon cupcake toppers. Ideally I should have made this from marshmallow fondant but these are made out of Pettinice Red fondant and Fondx Green fondant because this little old blogger unfortunately didn't have time to make a fresh batch of marshmallow fondant. 

Anyway, this is super easy to make. As easy as deciding how to eat watermelon. I eat is as it is, though I know Ate Sienna from Batibot likes to sprinkle a little salt into hers. Batibot kid here, I know (might as well say '80's kid here) - and I am dating myself again. Ok, stopping now. 

Back to watermelon and how to make it in fondant form, here it is.

What we need:
Fondant in red and green

Brush and water to glue fondant together

Here's how:
(1) Roll red fondant into a ball

(2) Divide it into four, as evenly as you can.

(3) Roll green fondant thinly.

Easy peasy right? And, hope you all had a blast this summer!
