Cupcake Cookies

Cupcake Cookies!
These sweet little cookies were inspired by a cute little pencil I bought a good while back.
I just LOVE all things cupcake! :o)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started with my coconut flavored cookie dough, rolled it out and cut it with two different sized cupcake cutters.

*Place cut-outs on parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake*

After cookies have baked and cooled, decorate with the pretty fuschia & red fondant. 
I had the red but needed to mix up some fuschia. 
I used Wilton white fondant and Americolor fuschia gel. I used about 3 times the amount you see in the first photo. Knead until streaks disappear. Keep covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.

Items needed to decorate cookies.
Light corn syrup~10x sugar~Assorted sprinkles~
Paint brush~Fondant roller

For the tiny cupcake, I used the same size cookie cutter to cut out the cookie & fondant. Then i used the larger size cupcake cutter (turned sideways) to cut off the bottom half of fondant. I then repeated this process with the red fondant.

Now just place one piece of each color on a corn syrup painted cookie. See next photo.

Here is the cookie lightly painted with corn syrup.

~Sweet~

Repeating these steps with the larger cupcake cutter..I changed this one up a little...

...I cut fondant strips freehand to mimic the look of a cupcake liner...

 Voila!
