fall meltables™ cupcake topper

Learn the technique of using a template and meltables to create fun designs for DIY edible cupcake decorative toppers.

Step 1

Click here to download and print the turkey and pumpkin traceable templates. Place the turkeys and pumpkins on separate baking sheets with parchment paper over the top, so you can trace.

Step 2

Melt chocolate and bright white Meltables™ together to mix for the body of the turkey. Pour into a piping bag once melted at the right consistency and cut the tip of the piping to start filling in the body on the traceable turkey template.

Step 3

Grab some mini eyes sprinkles and place on each turkey before the Meltables™ dry, then place in the fridge for 10 minutes to let set.

Step 4

Once they have set up, remove the turkey body from the parchment paper and place them to the side.

Step 5

Melt Meltables™ in Red, Yellow, Orange and Green separately and place them each individually in a piping bag and set them aside.

Step 6

Start tracing the feathers, then place the turkey bodies on top.

Step 7

With red Meltables™, draw the waddle on the turkey, then with orange Meltables™, pipe on the beak. Use chocolate Meltables™ and trace the feet.
TIP: Add some shimmer with Gold sprinkles to the feathers for a fun touch.

Step 8

Place your turkeys in the fridge to set.

Step 9

Use orange Meltables™ to trace the outlines of the pumpkin template. Place in the fridge to let set.
TIP: Use more pressure as you are tracing to make the pumpkins thicker and stronger.

Step 10

Now, use your chocolate Meltables™ to trace the stem and green Meltables™ to pipe a cute little leaf onto the pumpkins; then place back in the fridge to set.

Step 11

Pipe frosting onto your cupcakes and smooth out with a spatula.

Step 12

Add some sprinkles and then place the turkey or pumpkin toppers on top of the frosting.
