I was reading a fairy tale book to my little one and it was so beautiful and colorful.

There were pictures of all types of whimsical creatures, including a very colorful snail.

So, I decided to make one out of fondant and it turned out adorable! πŸ˜€

To make these cupcakes, you will need the following supplies:

Chocolate cupcakes
Green buttercream icing
Pink fondant
Yellow fondant
Purple fondant
Pink flower stamens
White edible pearls
Grass tip
Flower candies
Scissors
Knife
Black edible marker

These are the instructions:

Step 1:
Roll a ball of purple fondant (about the size of a quarter).

Step 5:
You should end up with this pink and yellow circle, which will be the snail’s shell.
You can also stick a white edible pearl in the center, if you like.

Step 10:
Let the snail dry overnight until it becomes hard.
Then, fill a piping bag with green icing and attach the gras tip.
Frost your cupcakes.
Place the snail in the center.
Stick a few flower candies on the grass.
AndΒ now you have a snail cupcake!
