  • Line 2 molds for 12 cupcakes with 24 paper liners.
  • In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add the vanilla.
  • Incorporate the egg gradually. Sift the flour and cornstarch on top and stir.
  • Divide the batter among the molds and bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven at 190° C for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden and fluffy.
  • Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Preparation for the fondant: We heat a container in a water bath, adding 3 tablespoons of cold water and sprinkling a tablespoon of unflavored gelatin on top. We heat it, then add 2 tablespoons of glycerin and 1 large tablespoon of glucose, also incorporating 1 tablespoon of vegetable fat, mixing carefully to prevent the gelatin from sticking to the container. Once we have a homogeneous mixture, we pour it into the center of another container that contains powdered sugar (approximately 1 kg).
  • We stir the ingredients carefully to avoid burns. Finally, we grease our hands with a little vegetable fat and continue kneading gradually, ensuring there are no lumps and that it doesn’t stick to our hands. We can use a rolling pin if needed. This is how we finish our Fondant, we wrap it in plastic, and preferably let it rest for 24 hours.
