I created these fondant cupcake toppers for the the Jubilee last year but they would be perfect for a street party too.

Description

Instructions

1. 

   Colour some sugarpaste navy. Roll out and cut to match the size of your cupcakes.

2. 

   Create the red and white strips for the flag by laying a strip of red sugarpaste on top of a slightly wider strip of white sugarpaste. Roll out gently to make a bi-colour strip.

3. 

   Cut some red and white strips with an arrow end so they match in the centre nicely.

4. 

   Wet (just use water) in the shape of a cross using a small brush.

5. 

   Assemble the flag.

6. 

   Use the circle cutter again to trim excess.

7. 

   Roll out some red sugarpaste and cut out a small heart. Immediately dip in red glitter (freshly rolled sugarpaste is wet enough to make the glitter stick). Use a dab of water to glue the heart to the flag. You may use the brush to apply more glitter to the red stripes of the flag.
