You can use this recipe to make two different toppings:\u00a0\u00a0frosting and fondant<\/strong>.<\/h3>\nTo get\u00a0frosting<\/strong>, you simply pipe it on a cupcake right after it is mixed. On this\u00a0floating bath bomb<\/a>\u00a0cupcake, the pink was piped and the yellow lemon was made of fondant.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/lemon_berry_cupcake-Transparent.png\")

Embed frosting chunks for spinning bath bombs<\/h3>\n
Later, you can embed chunks of left-over frosting in bath bombs for attractive designs.\u00a0 The frosting will give your bath bombs light bubbles and slight buoyancy.\u00a0 You can use it to make a floating bath bomb spin.<\/p>\n

Fizzy Frosting is Awesome<\/h2>\n
So cool, right?\u00a0 \u00a0I was the owner of FizzButter Bath Bakery and I invented this fizzy frosting recipe.\u00a0 I wanted a frosting that was activated by water.<\/p>\n
It took some trial and error but this frosting recipe takes any bath treat recipe to the next level.<\/p>\n
For Best Results:\u00a0 Measure\u00a0 Ingredients by Weight<\/h3>\n
This recipe is more technical than most so be as precise as you can with your measurements.\u00a0 The best way to do this is by using a kitchen scale and convert this recipe to weight.<\/p>\n
I use this exact\u00a0Kitchen Scale<\/span>\u00a0 from Amazon for measuring ounces and grams.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/scale.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nGet my favorite\u00a0Kitchen scale<\/a>\u00a0from Amazon<\/p>\nBe a bath bomb wizard!<\/h3>\n
It\u2019s very easy to measure by weight so do not be intimidated.\u00a0 It will also help you to really get to know these ingredients and become a real bath treat wizard.<\/p>\n
The first time you make this recipe, record the weight of each ingredient and then use weight measurements instead of cups and tablespoons on subsequent batches.<\/p>\n

\nIMPORTANT:\u00a0 make your fondant toppers the day before you plan to frost cupcakes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\n\n- \n
STEP 1:<\/strong>\u00a0Before you begin.<\/h3>\n![\"Wilton](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/wilton-12-inch-bags-e1713988528883-88x300.png\")

\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/star_tip_1M-159x300.png\")
<\/a>Wilton 1M Star Tip<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\n\n- \n
STEP 2:<\/strong>\u00a0Put the following ingredients in a bowl in this order:<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- 1\/3 cup\u00a0SLSA Coarse<\/a><\/li>\n
- 4 TBSP\u00a0Wilton Meringue Powder<\/a><\/li>\n
- 1\/4 cup powdered sugar<\/li>\n
- 46 grams water \/\u00a0Wilton gel color<\/a>\u00a0solution \u2013 (approximately 5 grams colorant + 41 grams cool water)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Mix ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.\u00a0 If ingredients stick to the bowl, scrape off and re-mix.\u00a0 Mix just enough to get everything evenly distributed and move on.<\/p>\n
\n\n- \n
STEP 3:<\/strong>\u00a0Add two more ingredients & mix<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- 3\/4 cup\u00a0Baking Soda<\/a><\/li>\n
- 1\/8 teaspoon Cream of Tartar<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Mix in baking soda and cream of tartar. Note: this is a regular kitchen cream of tartar and not tartaric acid<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n- \n
STEP 4:<\/strong>\u00a0Add final two ingredients<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n- 3 TBSP Corn starch<\/a><\/li>\n
- 4 TBSP\u00a0citric acid<\/a>\u00a0(fine grain works best\u2026like Milliard)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Once you add the citric acid to this mix, it is\u00a0activated<\/strong>\u00a0and must be worked with immediately!<\/h3>\nNow, use this mixture to either frost cupcakes or make bubble fondant for toppers.<\/strong><\/p>\nLet\u2019s make fizzy frosting:<\/strong><\/h3>\nFill your\u00a0Wilton bag<\/a>\u00a0halfway, twist to hold, and pipe it on your cupcake.\u00a0 \u00a0On a heart, I liked to do a half circle swirl on each side and then do fill the middle.\u00a0 It will depend on the shape of your bath cupcake.<\/p>\nJust remember, the frosting will rise about 60% so don\u2019t put too much on the cupcake.\u00a0 When that happens, it will slide too far off the sides and look less attractive.<\/p>\n
After you pipe all your cupcakes, place your favorite topper on each cupcake while it is still wet.\u00a0 We used fondant Christmas Tree\u2019s, Pumpkins, Hearts and lemons.\u00a0 This company has almost 250 different kinds of\u00a0Mini Cookie Cutters<\/a>\u00a0so you can do something for every holiday or theme.<\/p>\nDo you have\u00a0Leftover frosting?<\/strong><\/h3>\nJust pipe it directly onto wax paper, let it dry, break it into chunks and you can use it to embed in bath bombs.\u00a0 It will add color, bubbles, and buoyancy to any bath bomb.\u00a0 Once it dries you can store it for over a year in a ziplock bag.<\/p>\n
\nFor bubble fondant toppers:<\/strong><\/h3>\nRoll your frosting into a ball and place it in a tupperware container.\u00a0 You have to use a pretty big container because the frosting will rise so much it may lift off the lid.<\/p>\n
Let the fondant rest for about two hours.\u00a0 You can tell it\u2019s done when it stops rising like crazy.\u00a0 Please note:\u00a0 it\u2019s better to use the fondant too early vs. too late.\u00a0 Once it dries out, it is a useless substance and you will have to throw it away.<\/p>\n
Test your fondant<\/h3>\n
Take a walnut sized piece to test.\u00a0 Roll it out to 1\/4 inch and finish with a texture roller.\u00a0 Does it hold the texture?<\/p>\n
When the fondant is just right, it acts and feels just like sugar cookie dough or fondant.\u00a0 It holds impressions and you can use a cookie cutter to cut out shape.<\/p>\n
Make Toppers from Fondant<\/h3>\n
Lightly \u2018flour\u2019 your work surface with baking soda.\u00a0 Take an orange sized piece of fondant mixture and roll it out to 1\/4 inch with your plain rolling pin.<\/p>\n
Next, use a textured rolling pin and add creative texture to your topper.\u00a0 \u00a0Have fun<\/p>\n
Finally, cut out your shapes with mini cookie cutters.<\/p>\n![\"Bath](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fizzy-hearts-embed-825x720-1.jpg\")
<\/a>Bath Bomb shapes cut using mini cookie cutters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMake adorable toppers out of this bubble fondant.\u00a0 Use different rolling pins to get different textures.<\/p>\n
Topper Making Tips<\/h3>\n
Try to cut the toppers as close as possible.\u00a0 \u00a0In addition, I like to have around six mini cutters because they start to stick after a about 10 uses.\u00a0 When you are starting out, use a less intricate design with fewer corners.<\/p>\n
After you cut out your first set of toppers, add a little bit of new fondant to the unused fondant that was left around your cuts and roll it out again.\u00a0 You can usually do this a few times but if the old mix starts to get brittle, just throw it out and use only new fondant.<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting Fondant<\/h3>\n
If your batch is too wet, it will severely stick to the mini cookie cutter and it won\u2019t hold a rolling pin texture (it will rise out of shape).<\/p>\n
If this happens, simply add about a 1\/2 tablespoon of baking soda and work it through your apple sized ball.<\/p>\n
Now re-roll it out, add texture, and then cut toppers.<\/p>\n
I like to use a flat knife to move the cut-out pieces to dry on wax paper.<\/p>\n
The extra fondant mixture will dry out quickly so be sure to re-wrap it between use.<\/p>\n
Air dry these in a low humidity area and store in sealed ziplock bags.\u00a0 These will last for over a year if they are kept dry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Rolling Pin Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n
First, you\u2019ll want to use a smooth rolling pin like this 9-inch Wilton fondant rolling pin from\u00a0Amazon.\u00a0 Wilton makes a longer rolling pin but this size works well with the small sections of fondant we will roll out at once (so it doesn\u2019t dry out).<\/p>\n

<\/a>Rolling pin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSmooth Wilton 9-inch Rolling Pin from Amazon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Next,\u00a0 use the smooth pin to get a 1\/4 inch thickness on your bubble fondant.\u00a0 It is nice to have more than one 9-inch pin on hand if you are planning to work with multiple colors or do a large job.\u00a0 Please note:\u00a0 Never use this mixture with an aluminum rolling pin.<\/p>\n
Now, we get to have some serious fun!<\/p>\n
There are a wide assortment of textured rolling pins to jazz up your toppers.<\/p>\n
We used the purple textured rolling pin in the image below on our Santa\u2019s Cupcake above.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/howtobathbomb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/textured-roller-e1713991325473.png\")
