  • On the top and bottom of each white fondant rectangle, press a red fondant strip. Trim where necessary.

  • Using the end of Wilton icing tip #12, trim out a demi-circle from the corner of each fondant ticket.
  • In a large bowl, beat together butter, sugar and milk with an electric mixer.
  • Gradually increase the electric mixer to high and once all ingredients are well combined, scoop buttercream into a piping bag with Wilton tip #12 attached.
  • Frost each cupcake and then garnish with sprinkles.
  • Place one fondant ticket on each cupcake. Serve and enjoy!
