Tutorial: How to make a Phanatic

This is my first tutorial... thought I would make it a fun one :) So here goes! *Warning: Picture heavy post ahead*

The Phanatic is the Philadelphia Phillie's team mascot. Now you can make him in cupcake form!

Materials:

• Gumpaste/fondant blend in green, red, purple
• Royal icing in green
• Your favorite frosting in green and a little big of blue
• Toothpicks
• Your favorite flavor cupcakes, cooled and ready to frost
• Wilton small flower cutter, tips 21 "star" and 233 "Grass tip"
  
• Royal icing eyes (I bought these at a cake supply store for .75 cents, but you can always make them yourself)
  

A Phanatic 30th Birthday

I celebrated two birthday's this weekend - my friend an her husband. Though we celebrated both, it was mainly for her husband who turned 30th this week. They're originally from the Philly area, so I went with a Philly sports theme - specifically baseball (GO PHILLIES!). We actually became friends with our love of Philly sports so it was perfect. I looked around for ideas and decided on making the Phillies' team mascot: The Phanatic.


Isn't he cute?! I haven't seen anyone make him in cupcake form before so I came up with the design on my own. How did I do?? lol.... I complimented them with baseballs, hot dogs, and pretzels :)

And here is the finished results:

It was another fun cupcake weekend. I'll be posting a Phanatic tutorial this week!

Happy Birthday Ken!!! & Ashley too :)
