These are chocolate cupcakes baked in silicone flower pot cupcake molds, and covered with Oreo crumbs. Those fun characters from Plants vs Zombies were made from rolled fondant from Wilton.
Store bought fondant is very easy to work with ( feels like play dough). You can easily use it to create little fondant figures. Do you see those little pink sea creatures on the very top of my blog, under the blog title? they were made from fondant. Store bought fondant is edible; however, you may not want to eat it. I think it taste pretty awful! I still love to use it to decorate my cake because it's ready to use, and it comes in many different colors. So convenient!
The tools I used to create these fondant figures are a little knife, scissors, tweezers and a chopstick.
You know what? This is the first cupcake post on this blog ^,^ I had so much fun creating these cupcake toppers, so I think you may see more cupcake posts here in the future.
Which one is your favorite plant? I really like the garlic
Here comes the zombie! Don't worry! Your plants will protect you!

ReplyDeleteThis is about the coolest thing I've ever seen! My kids would absolutely freak out if I made these. We love Plants vs. Zombies! These are so cute and absolutely perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteSO AWESOME! I love plants versus zombies, and these cupcakes are totally perfect!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Satsuki and Kreativ, thank you so much (^.^)
ReplyDeleteTo Erin, I download the game a few days ago. My son loves the game, but me....not so much. I still don't understand what's so fun about having zombies in your front door. Anyway, glad you like the food, and thank you so much for coming back!
Hi Sara, thank you so much for the comment!
ReplyDeleteI love your Cupcake : )
ReplyDeleteThank you! My Granddaughter LOVES this game. I think I will see if I can do this.
ReplyDeleteADORABLE! I love the potato, but they're all super cute. The flower is so cute too!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest!!! For the fondant, I know Wilton's taste awful :( You may want to try the Satin Ice one, it's much much much better (it doesn't taste like playdough ;) ). Your fondant decorations are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteTo Petty, the "Plants vs Zombies" dinner is easy to make. Making those fondant figures is time- consuming. Have fun playing with your food!
To Mindy,I love that potato too! However, the garlic is my favorite
Hi Marjorie, thank you so much for the info. I have to try the Satin Ice one. It would be nice to have the ready to use fondant that's actually edible!
I like playing this game haha when I have nothing to do at work AHA HA HA my fav is a chilly pepper
ReplyDeleteoups.. I have mentioned a chilly pepper, it's my fav plant for the game. As for the cup cakes.. mm.. I guess the Pea.. they all looks awesome
ReplyDeleteThat's a pea? Haha.... My son and I have been calling it " the green plant". That's his favorite!! It's nice to know what it is, finally!!
ReplyDeleteThey're all soooo cute.. I like the garlic too the most.. he's got funny little teeth!! ;p
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely cute food for kids!
ReplyDeleteHi ladies, thank you do much. Have a nice weekend ^,^
ReplyDeleteBeyond adorable. You did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteOMG, that's hysterical!! One of my nephews stepped in to play Audrey, the huge man-eating Venus Flytrap in Little Shop of Horrors, a few years back because he was the only one strong enough to hold up the ginormous costume. I might just have to make a cake version to tease him and add a big "FEED ME" call out somehow. These would have been awesome for the cast party back then. :(
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute and awesome! How did u manage to make these so smooth? I've never use fondants before but I know they are like play doughs and I find them slightly difficult to smoothen out the surface w/o finger prints! lol
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! ;)
My kids will definitely love it. You got a wonderful creativity.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Plants Vs Zombies. This made my day.
ReplyDeleteLove it. THanks for sharing
ReplyDeletehehehe My husband and sons adore PVZ - I "hate" anything zombie-ish (love horror movies, unless there's a zombie)... they will think I've been won over to the PVZ side when these show up in our house. Thanks for sharing your creativity with those less fortunate! =•D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone! It seems like people to move on from the Angry bird to Zombies :D
ReplyDeleteTo Lyn, it's not difficult to make it smooth at all. Maybe because it's store fondant. It's easier to work with.
Great job on the fondant figures. You are truly gifted! I love the onion, but it was hard to choose a favorite, they are all so cute.
ReplyDeleteBeth @ Hungry Happenings
Oh~~~~ that's an onion! Haha, I thought it was a garlic ;p
ReplyDeleteOic... Tks for your explanation, Tiffany! :D
ReplyDeleteI just came across this on Foodgawker and had to post a comment. They are so cute! I like them all but especially love the garlic, there's just something really silly about it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comments, and thank you for dropping by ^^
ReplyDeleteThose are the most awesome cupcakes I've ever seen...although I'm pretty sure the potato one everyone loves is supposed to be wallnut :P The taters burrow underground like landmines lol
ReplyDeleteLol..... There are 2 big mistakes on this post! The garlic supposed to be an onion; the potato supposed to be a walnut!
ReplyDeleteHaha....I should have played the game before I made these cupcakes;p
Thank you so much for the comment, and I'm so glad that you still like these cupcakes.
Thank you for sharing your fun -- it brought a smile to my day. My twins have been playing this game since they were 4 and it is my son's favorite game. I am considering trying this, but I am low on the confidence scale for trying things that look hard. and wish there were 24 more hours in each day !!!! You are quite the artist. Thanks again for sharing your fun. :))
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous friend, thank you so much for dropping by. Cupcakes like these are not something I would make regularly. they did take way too much time!
ReplyDeleteTry the PVZ meal at the button of this post. Maybe your boys will like it!
These look great! Have you thought of doing this professionally? If you do, make sure to get restaurant insurance to protect your business. Thanks for sharing these cuties!
ReplyDeleteThank you Allie!
ReplyDeletethese are great! where did you find the plat pot cup cake cases?
ReplyDeleteI got these from Michaels the craft store a year ago. Not sure where else you can fine them. eBay maybe?
ReplyDeleteI will have to replace some ingredients with gluten free products long island, but I think I can swing these cupcakes! I'm not so sure about those beautiful toppers, though. I don't have as much talent as you do!
ReplyDeleteHi Judy, thank you so much for the comment!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE UR CREATIONS! WHERE DID UGETTHE SILICONE FLOWER POT BTW?
ReplyDeleteI got these from Michael's the craft store. Seen them on eBay too!
ReplyDeleteI TRIED TO MAKE THE ZOMBIES BUT FOR SOME REASONS THE LEGS KEEP ON BREAKING OFF. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
ReplyDeleteI didn't make any zombies. I thought they were too difficult to create! So sorry, can't help >,<
