Zelda's Ready for Her Close Up

Hi SP Bloggers ... Hope you're enjoying our Cupcake "Bake Off".  Next up, we've got Renee's friend, Zelda, ready for her close up.  Supplies and instructions to create this diva-licious zebra are below.

Renee's Zelda (the Diva-licious) Zebra Cupcake

To create this, you'll need a paper mache cupcake, along with Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers (Pitch Black and Snow Cap); Silks Paint (Black Ice and Ice); zebra print Candies; baker's twine; Zva Clear Crystals; silk ribbon, false eyelashes.

Paint both top and bottom of the cupcake with the Snow Cap Dabber and then paint with Silks Ice.  Leaving the bottom portion of the icing white (see the wavy section at the top of the bottom piece), use Pitch Black Dabber to randomly paint zebra stripes on the top and bottom pieces.  Accent the stripes with Silks Black Ice.  Use mini pop dots to add your zebra print Candies to the white section of the icing.  Twist twine to create tail and adhere to the cupcake.  Cut ears from Bazzill cardstock and adhere to the cupcake.  Add ribbon, crystals (eyes) and fake eyelashes.  Paint on red lips if you'd like with paint of your choice (Silks, Dabber...).
