BLUE FONDANT

1. Take half the amount of fondant and colour it with blue food colouring. Squeeze and mix the fondant till it’s fully blue.
2. Dust a tabletop with some cornflour and lay the fondant on it. Then dust the fondant with cornflour and roll it with a rolling pin till it’s about 5 mm thick.
3. Use your glass to cut circles out of the blue fondant. They should be the same size as the top of the cupcakes.

GREEN FONDANT

4. Break off 1/3 of the leftover fondant. Make 24 little balls from it and put them one side. This will be the eyes.
5. Add some green food colouring to the other piece of leftover fondant. Squeeze and mix it till it’s completely green.
6. Break the green fondant in half and make 12 balls the size of a golf ball from one half. This is the frog’s body.
7. Use the other half to make smaller balls the size of peas. this will be the arms and legs.

PUT IT TOGETHER
