Recently, I've been occupied with numerous custom cupcake orders, leaving me with little time to browse the web, which has been a refreshing change! I couldn't resist sharing my most recent order on the blog because it beautifully represents two essential Dominican foods. I believe no one has explored this idea before, and my search on the web didn't yield anything similar in fondant.
Behold, a plantain and salami (Dominican sausage) cupcake topper crafted in fondant! This creation truly underscores Dominicans' love for their plantains! At the moment, I don't have a tutorial available as I developed the concept while working. However, when I find the time, I'll resume posting recipes and tutorials as usual. If you have any questions or need information, feel free to contact me via the comments section below or through the contact tab above.
I did not get a chance to get photos of a machete cupcake before delivering it, but in the next photo you can see my husband putting the finishing touches on a fondant machete, a typical tool to work the fields in this country. I think it came out perfect, right?! It’s fun to be creative with the traditional things of any country. Flowers, bows, gum paste figures are beautiful, but this has awakened another type of interest and lots of ideas for baked sweets.
If you are looking for a plantain recipe you can find the following recipes here:
- Tostones (Fried Green Plantain)

Have a blessed day.
