This, my friends, was a FUN project. Cupcake meet video game icon.
These cakes are brought to you by: marshmallow fondant. And lots of it. Black circles to place on each cake (30), blue lines to create the 'hallways' of the game, 4 ghosts in their respective colors and yummy yellow dots and cherries for Pac-Man to eat!
I brewed some of my own chai tea with fragrant cardamom pods, star anise, cloves, black pepper and tea to make a yummy spiced cupcake. Chocolate paired with the chai and both cakes were stuffed with a caramel rolo inside. I swirled some buttercream frosting on each cake to 'glue' the fondant in place which also gave guests the option of eating the fondant with the cake or to take the fondant off and still have some frosting on top of their cake. I must say though, marshmallow fondant is a LOT tastier than the commercial stuff and who doesn't like marshmallow?! (says the girl who could easily inhale a bag of the fluffy stuff back in my high school and college days...it was a staple in college).
Now you can have your video game and eat it too!
