Dust Ball Cupcake

Hello there! This is a cute little dust ball from My Neighbour Totoro.
I've lost count of how many times I have watched this wonderful film.
This little character was fun to make!
  1. First, dye your fondant black. If you have pre-coloured fondant (we highly recommend getting red and black fondant, everything else can be easily dyed from white fondant), roll it into a nice ball, about the size of a slightly larger marble.
  2. This is optional, but I added some texture by rolling on a dimpled pattern.
  3. Two small pieces of white fondant for the eyes. Rolled them into tiny balls and flattened it on the "body."
  4. Pressed in brown sprinkles for the eyes. Finally, the fun part, sticking pieces of sprinkles randomly onto the dust ball!

  1. Very cute! I do buy several colors and then I dye chocolate fondant black, since it is already dark. Chocolate fondant is the only type that seems to be consistent enough without too many bubbles that I can make myself from marshmallows.

  2. My kids would have a great time with this cupcake. I wish the real dust balls would disappear as fast as these would!!!
