A carnival of colours and styles to grace a bright birthday table from the kitchens of  Devon_Klaus

******************************

yay, been a while since this I dunno why I never posted it, my girlfriend and I wanted to do something really nerdy for her birthday party last summer, after struggling for many possibilities, we finally came up with that Idea being Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time Tards.
we did with fondant and a basic muffin recipe and colorants and we used cake icing to stick the fondant on the cupcake.

Recipe¸: you can use any white cupcake recipe you might like,

here is one you can use, it's really easy:

for the coloring, just add the food coloring in the batter before cooking it, you will need 6 different color so make sure you have enough bather.

for the top of the cupcake, we used Fondant we dyed it with the same color as the fitting cupcake.

all cup cake used the same batter, I just add a bit cinnamon in the fire medallion to spice the thing up :P be free to add whatever flavor you feel like, will give a unique personality to your different cupcake.
