These cupcakes are a great idea to make towards the end of term for teacher presents.
The toppers are quick to make and are quite straight forward.

These cupcakes were very popular and all of the customers were very happy.
The easiest cupcake toppers to make were the apples, which were simply a red ball, which was rolled from red fondant and then a small green fondant leaf.
The next cupcake topper was the book. To do this I cut a rectangle out of thick white fondant. I then measured the width and rolled out some blue fondant. After cutting out the blue fondant in strips I covered the white and cut out small white rectangles to stick on the front of the books. The good thing about these toppers is that they can be done in different colours, although they are more time consuming than the other toppers.
To make the toppers different without making too many different toppers we decided to put the book and apple on the same cupcake, just to make the cupcakes look different. However if you have a lot of orders, I would recommend making one topper per cupcake.
If the order is for college or university students, a good alternative is to make a cap and scroll. To make the cap I just rolled some black fondant and squashed it down into a circle. I then cut out black squares and stuck them to the round black fondant with water. (Note: the black squares will need to take a while to set so if you have a large order, I would make them in advance). For the scrolls i rolled white fondant and then cut out small pieces of red, which I stuck to the white with water.
We then tried different colours and we also made some black boards by cutting out black and brown rectangles and sticking some white letters to them with water.
