Alice in Wonderland + giveaway
I have really been looking forward to the movie, and in honor of that I decided to throw a little tea party of my own. I made fondant faces for some cupcakes.So, here we go!
For the Red Queen, start with molding a face.
Make a heart shape, and attach the face.
I added little swirls for texture and curles.
Mad Hatter was next!
I know it look like bozo the clown lol! be patient…
I colored some fondant green and brown to get this hue. I made a hat shape and wrapped the color fondant around it.
Next, I rolled out a thin brown piece and draped it to finish off the hat.
With scissors I snipped the hair on the hatter for his wacky style.
then added brows and tah dah!
Next, came Alice. Some simple blod hair, and I added strands for interest.
The cat and its famous grin.
Also snipped the edges with scissors to seem like fur.
Rabbit was pretty straightforward. Looks a bit like playboy rabbit. The details will make it pop.
The White Queen, oh, sooo….white.
I used Gourmet Writer Food Decorator Pens
Made some wee pertinent nicknaks also decorated with Food Decorator Pens
Then I was on to bake a cake. But not just any cake. I wanted to Bake the Wilton Giant Cupcake!
Filled the pan and off into the oven it went, at 350 F for 70 min. Yes, 70 min.lol
Once done, this is what they looked like
I attached the two parts with buttercream
Made some mini confetti cupcakes to go along with it in some Bake it Pretty pink wrappers.
Added the final details:
“You’re invited to a tea party…” attached to a key
This was my hubby’s fav 
lol. sorry, couldn’t help it
Actually this was his fav, and mine too. The Mad Hatter was mad as hell and divine!
I used some candle holders I had to hold the cupcakes. I loved em, do you?
Also, I got the idea from Bake it Pretty to add sugar flowers to the tea. loved it.
This was delish, and fun. I can’t wait to see the movie.
I love Bake it Pretty, and above I used the confetti hearts, pink wrappers and Wilton’s Fondant

Those are really cute! I haven't seen the new Alice in Wonderland movie yet, and I hear that while the visual is great, the story was lacking. I'll probably wait until it comes out on dvd in June to watch it.
Have a great weekend!

I haven't seen the movie, and probably won't…it looks a little creepy
I made teacup cupcakes a few weeks ago and posted about them, but they weren't for Alice in Wonderland…wish I thought of that!
(On Mar 6th, 2010 at 8:04 am)
I liked the look of the new one, but didn't like that he changed so much from the book.

i LOVE your creations! these cupcakes are cute and extremely difficult to make! you are a pastry genius!
i saw the movie yesterday and honestly was a bit disappointed with it… maybe because i know the book so well. anyways i loved the teatime table and that was the part of the movie i enjoyed most!
have a sweet day,

I think the movie is great…but I like things that go off the deep end. Thanks for sharing this entire post. What fun I had looking at the photos as you made all of your goodies.

I have yet to see the movie, but I am beyond excited to be going this Friday. I love Tim Burton and have seen numerous adaptations of Alice in Wonderland before. So I am looking very much forward to seeing what Tim Burton does with the story and incredible cast. PS: those cupcakes look great! I haven't used my huge cupcake mold yet, but it looks like so much fun!
(On Mar 6th, 2010 at 12:22 pm)
Oh wow! these look fantastic! Same as the movie, my favorite is the Mad Hatter!!

I LOVE these cupcakes! They are absolutely adorable. And the sugar flowers in the tea is an excellent idea – I have never seen that before.
The movie is not out here yet in France but the ads are everywhere and my 7 year-old is dying to see it. He loves the original Disney film.
I am following you on twitter, I RTed the phrase above and I am following your blog via Google. I LOVE Bake it Pretty and would be so happy to win so pick me, pick me!
(On Mar 6th, 2010 at 10:38 pm)

(On Mar 6th, 2010 at 4:17 am)
Okay.. I just realized I should join your contest!!
I haven't seen the A in W yet b/c it hasn't been released yet in France.. End of March for us! I can't WAIT!! I have watched the trailers and shared them with a few of my students… It looks great… Anything by Tim Burton which has Johnny Depp has to be great anyways, right??
Also, just added myself to your FB fan page, followed you on Twitter and tweeted about the contest… and did the Google friend connect, which I did not know about before… So, thanks for introducing that to me!
Have a great week!! Leesa : )

I haven't seen the new movie, I think Burton usually goes off the deep end, I am not a fan of his, but these great Wilton products I definitely am.
