Santa Claus preparation of fondant
We will start by separating the fondant into 3 parts, 1 part larger than the other two, we will mix this part with the red coloring, and one of the small halves with the brown coloring, the other we will leave it like that in white.
We will take the large portion of red color, and we will stretch leaving a thickness of about 1 centimeter in it. Having the fondant stretched with the help of a scalpel, we will make 2-centimeter circles one for each cupcake, these for Santa's body.
We will cut small figures in the shape of rectangles 4 in total for each cupcake and 1 in the shape of a triangle for each one, this would be the equivalent for the arms, legs and hats of the saints.
We will put the red fondant aside, and we will stretch the brown leaving the same 1 centimeter, and we will cut the same 2 small rectangles for each cupcake, these for the boots of our saints.
We will continue with the brown fondant and take small pieces of it to make the belts of our holy Klaus.
Depending on the way we want our Santa Claus figure, we will place our finest fondant. Having said this, we will stretch our white fondant, and we will remove a part for the beards and another for the heads of our.
For the heads we will make small balls of fondant and for the beards we will flatten our fondant as much as we can.
Once all the parts are ready, we will use the help of a brush and a little water to glue the parts. And with the help of our fingers we can shape our pieces.
For the smallest details we can use wooden toothpicks and thus give it those little details. We put our figures together and once we have them ready we place a wooden toothpick on one of the legs.
This to be able to fix them to our cupcakes, having everything ready we place the cream on the already cold cupcakes. Finally, with the help of the toothpick we put on these the figure of our saint Klaus.
