Supplies you will need:
- Red and white fondant
- Rolling pin
- Oval cutters (I utilized two sizes)
- Heart and butterfly-shaped cutters
- Large square cutter
- Food safe brush & water
- Round tip (in this case, I used Wilton tip 12)
- Fondant or pizza cutter
- Small spatula
- Modeling stick (or toothpick or any "pointy" tool you might have in the kitchen)
Start out by rolling some red fondant into a ball and pressing it down on a flat surface until it is approximately 1/2" thick. Cut out an oval shape with the larger cutter and begin to pinch the shape on both sides to create the sides of the mouth.
At the same time, use your fingers to soften the perimeter of the mouth to round it out. With a heart cutter, position the top in the middle of the fondant lips and lightly press to make an indentation. Create a small separation at the top of the lips with the small spatula and finish the kissing lips with the modeling stick through the center.
You can repeat the process with the smaller oval cutter to make small lips for blown kisses!
