Fondant Christmas Tree - Using Star Cutters

A Christmas tree, from fondant, using a star cutter

• Green fondant
• White fondant star
• Glitter spray
• A cocktail stick
• Small / Medium star cutters in three sizes

Note: Add a dab of water / edible glue to each star before adding the next one

Roll out your fondant and cut the following:

• 4No Large
• 4No Medium
• 3No Small

Using your cocktail stick, start stacking your stars, in reverse order - always keep cocktail stick in the centre of each piece. Keep one small star until the end.

Start with the smallest star and place cocktail stick in centre

Once you have added the two small stars, move onto the medium stars.

Keep stacking with the four medium ones, then ...

... Move onto the biggest four

• Place your work onto the surface that you will be drying it out on, with a little parchment paper.
• Gently remove the cocktail stick using a twisting motion.
• Add a dab of water and then add your final small star to the top.
• Using a little extra green fondant, make a small, flat-bottomed cone to top off the tree

Or in this case, a little edible glitter

If you don't wish to add it to a cupcake, you can add them to your Christmas cake or Yule log.

There are also ones with daisy cutters and snowflake cutters
