Safari Cookies

A friend of my sister's asked if I could bake for her son's birthday party.  It was a safari theme, so she wanted animal print cookies and fondant cupcake toppers.

I was very excited to make them because I don't get to bake for boys very often.  I had never done anything like these before, so I wasn't sure what to do.  I found a great tutorial for all three designs at Sweet Sugar Belle. 

I love how all three turned out.  I've seen a lot of different ways to use these three designs and can see more of these in my future.

I haven't done a lot with fondant in the past, but she wanted cupcake toppers so I figured I'd give it go.  I made my own marshmallow fondant because I think that it tastes so much better than the store bought stuff. 

They turned out nicely and looked cute on top of the cupcakes.

I hope the birthday boy liked them!!
