My boyfriend Jared had his 24th birthday on September 17th of this year. After months of waiting to get his gift, I was excited to finally search for it. He'd said we should get a dog about a zillion times, and I always had some excuse not to so that I could surprise him with one. I managed to blurt it out by accident on the day I was going to pick her up, but he was still very excited and surprised. Unfortunately, I didn't have any extra money to make cupcakes or anything. Then I remembered I had a box mix in the pantry, and a chunk of left over fondant from the 25th Anniversary Cupcakes. I wound up making vanilla cupcakes with a cinnamon-vanilla buttercream filling, and fondant Batman toppers.
I freehanded one Batman logo, using an Xacto knife, and then used it as a guide to cut the others. I made Jared his own special cupcake (pictured left) by free-handing a batman face. I ran out of fondant near the end and the last cupcake only had a small yellow circle rather than a full size one.
I used Wilton fondant and Wilton food coloring to dye it. When frosting the cupcakes, I cut out the center to fill it, and didn't really put any on top of these. I didn't cover the filling up, and filled it high so that the fondant stuck to it.
