fondant kagami mochis
As I was going through my pantry for ingredients for New Year’s, I noticed an unopened slab of fondant and realized that the white fondant looked just like mochi. Specifically, the kagami mochi, which is stacked just so – for New Year’s Day – with a little orange on top to signify generations of family.
ingredients:
fondant
orange gel dye
green gel dye
Since mochi is white and so is fondant, all you have to do is shape it into little slabs. SO EASY. I wish all fondant work was this easy. Pat them down to look like mochi and stack the smaller one on top.
Now dye a tiny bit to make little oranges. And a VERY small amount – dye green for the leaves. After you’ve shaped the oranges into balls, place them on top of the white mochi slabs, take a toothpick and poke a little hole in the top. That’s where we’ll add the leaf.
Take a teeeeny pinch of green and just freeform shape it into something that resembles a leaf. Poke that into the top of the ‘orange’ to stick.
When I made these they looked so cute but now that I had dozen of these things, now what? Cupcakes of course.
I made mochiko cupcakes and stuck these on top. Festive and fun for the new year!

Where can I buy that cupcake stand/holder? What is it called? Did a google search and can’t find it. Found this cardboard one (http://cupcaketree.com/cct.html) but not the pretty one you have.
