How to make lipstick cupcake toppers with candy

Gather your supplies.

My licorice candies were small so I took two and stuck them together with a little melted chocolate.

Side note: I "over cooked" some chocolate that I was using for cake pops. It's not smooth enough for cake pops but perfect for a project like this!

Cut the caramel into thirds. Then cut a piece that is the same width as your licorice.

Smooth the caramel a little with your fingers and stick it to the licorice with some chocolate. A tiny bit if shortening on your finger tips will help with stickiness.

For the lipstick, cut your red candy in half.

Then cut a point. Smooth the tip with your fingers.

Stick it on top of the caramel with more chocolate. You can put it on your cupcake like this, or...

You can place it on a fondant disk.

Super simple! I hope you'll try it.
