Chocolate Robot Cupcake Topper

Wesley turned 5 earlier this month and was sure he wanted a robot themed birthday party. I had no idea just how hard it would be to find party supplies for what I thought would be a popular theme. Rather than pay a high price for custom work, I decided to make my own chocolate robot cupcake topper instead. Wes was so happy to make them with me!

I found an inexpensive robot mold and decided it would be perfect for this project. Because there are 15 robots (3 designs) that can be made with a single mold, I knew two batches is all I would need.

You will want to get the chocolate all the way to the top.  Wes used a cookie stick to evening remove all the excess chocolate so you have a smooth back to your robot. Anything with a long flat edge will work.

What did we do with the excess chocolate? Dipped pretzels of course!

  1. how cute! I love cupcake toppers. You could also make them colored by using white chocolate and adding food coloring to it.
