Harvest Cupcakes: Two Peas in a Pod

Harvest time and cupcakes are like two peas in a pod! These Two Peas in a Pod harvest cupcakes are super cute and can really be made any time of the year. I personally like to make them when the days get cooler because the sweet aroma fills the air getting me into the Autumn mood. 

I think these would also be super cute at a baby shower for someone having twins! How adorable would that be? Just some ideas…

Harvest Cupcakes Ingredients

• 5-6 oz. green fondant
• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

How to make Harvest Cupcakes

1. On a clean surface, start preparing the peas in a pod fondant shapes: roll out green fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick.
2. Using a 2 inch circular cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles. Set aside.

3. Roll 24 ½ inch spheres from green fondant.

4. Place two spheres in the center of one circle and fold over the top and bottom, surrounding both spheres. Pinch both ends.

5. Repeat to make 12 pods.

6. In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and milk with an electric mixer. These ingredients will make up the buttercream.

8. Scoop buttercream into a piping bag with a round icing tip.

9. Frost the center of each cupcake.

10. Place one fondant pea pod onto the center of each frosted cupcake.

11. Take small strips of green fondant and curl them on random spots of your cupcakes.
