Question:

Anyone know how to frost cupcakes so it looks like bubbles?

I am having a rubber duck themed birthday for my 2 year old and I saw these cup cakes once that the icing looked like bath bubbles. I thought I saved the link but can't find it now. Anyone have any ideas?


Answers: I've seen cupcakes like that. My guess would be that they used fondant rolled into different sized balls, then dusted with luster dust using a paint brush for the gleam. Frost the cupcake first with buttercream tinted blue, then if you can find mini rubber ducks, put those on the cupcake, then make the fondant "bubbles" and arrange them on the cupcakes. Use a clean paint brush to apply a small amount of water to the base of the bubbles so they'll stick.

You can find white fondant in the cake decorating section of Michael's made by Wilton, or you can make your own (a day ahead) out of marshmallows. Source(s):

how to make your own fondant (cheaper than ready made, but you do have to make it a day ahead) if you want to find that web site again, just do a google search.
i don't know how to make it look like that, but amybe just to round balls of icing then do a little shiny square? You could cover small sugar cookies with blue icing than place them on the cake. Hi

I tryed to find the frosting you talked about and I didn't find anything.

How about small round bubble gum. The round small balls that you sell in the machines. Just push them into the frosting half way.

Also you can use a blue jello and make a lake like
top of the cake.

Blue cotton candy on the top of the cake.

You can also take coconut and use blue food coloring to make it blue and use it on top of the cake for a lake effect.
