As some of you know, I love Anne Heap at the Pink Cake Box, so I was very excited when she responded to the post we did a few days ago showing her peas in the pod idea recreated. She advised that they have since converted this cake idea for triplets, and because it is just so adorable I had to share it with you! This woman just has too much talent!
But the good news is that you can pull off something similar at home, if you are not too ambitious, (so leave out the babies in the pea pod). A small cake topper with stripes, and two or three of the peas in pod on top would look fantastic too. You can then vary your cupcakes half with peas in the pod, and the other half with flat stripes (i.e. leave off the frosting).
Peas in the Pod: This is how I would create them! Mix a little bit of green into your fondant and kneed it until the color takes, if it is too light add a little more and repeat. With your green ball of icing, separate a ball and roll the rest out flat. Draw on a piece of cardboard or plastic the shape of a crescent moon (but a bit thicker and longer) cut it out, and then trace around it with a sharp knife on your fondant. With your other ball, separate little balls and roll them into your fingers to create the peas. Place one, two or three onto the crescent shaped fondant and then cut another piece from the flat icing the same shape and adding it to the top, pinching the sides together. Viola!
