You will need the following things: - Fondant or (MMF) - 4.5” round cookie cuter - Plastic ornament mold, and - Cupcakes(of course)
	Roll the fondant out to about 1/8” of thickness .Use a 4.5” cookie cuter and cut out the shape. Place the shape carefully inside of the mold pressing gently around the mold so no creases are visible. Place it in the refrigerator. In the mean time make and bake chocolate cupcakes, cool completely. Fill the ornament molds (with the fondant still inside) with cake ball ingredients. Once the two half’s are filled, place each on the cupcake. Place it back in the refrigerator.
	For the hanger part, you will need; - 1.5” cookie cuter - a straw - small ball made out of Kleenex, and - rope (sausage) made out of MMF (the thinner you can make it the better) - small bottle or object
	Use a 1.5” cookie cuter to cut out the shape. Using a straw, poke a small hole in the center of a cutout.
	Take the rope (sausage) and make a loop out of it.
	Feed the loop trough the hole in the center.
	Place the whole thing on the small bottle and shape the hanger to achieve the look similar to this. Place the whole thing back in the refrigerator to harden little bit. Let it dry out before pulling the paper out. After hardens pull the paper out and attach it to the cupcake with the dab of icing. Decorate with luster dust and royal icing
