Fondant Cupcake (and Cookie!) Toppers

As you know, I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and cupcakey inspiration, so you can imagine how much my eyes lit up when I saw these cupcake pretties!  At first I couldn't figure out whether they'd been piped, or moulded, but then, ooooh the excitement of it... I found a tutorial that shows exactly how it's done. So, thank you, thank you, thank you  Bakerella  for sharing this amazingly simple but stunningly effective technique!

You can use the same technique to decorate cookies too, just like the heart-breakingly beautiful ones below!
