With a little sanding sugar and edible glitters, these cupcakes absolutely sparkle for either Valentine's Day or Easter. This cupcake is a Devil's Food cake, covered with poured fondant icings tinted with dark pink and violet food coloring and then dusted with sanding sugar and edible glitter in matching colors. You can easily change the cake flavor and the colors to match any occasion or holiday. Making poured fondant is easy, but it is a two-step process. The first step is making the fondant, which should be made and cured at least one day in advance. The second step, which can be completed just prior to covering the cupcakes, is warming and thinning the cured fondant with sugar syrup to make it pourable. The sugar syrup for the poured fondant can also be made in advance.
