Springerle molds, originally from Germany, are used to form the pure white, spice-laden Christmas cookies of the same name. Yet the wooden molds are also useful for shaping rolled fondant into cupcake toppers in dozens of finely detailed designs, including Easter bunnies. You’ll need to use a springerle mold with a design that is three inches or smaller. Look for the molds from specialty retailers online, or see Sources, page 342. Fondant mimics the color of traditional springerle cookies, but if you can’t find it, use marzipan instead; although it is not white, you can tint it a desired shade with gel-paste food color (see instructions on page 299).
