My Kids love How to Train Dragon movie, they have watched all of them. Last week movie Walmart exclusive DVD Gift Set containing Blu-Ray DVD, to light fury and toothless key chain was released in Walmart. I decide to treat my kids for a movie night with How to Train Dragon Viking hat and dragon cupcakes. I also got my son favorite character in the movie Toothless toy along with dragon themed Tee Shirt.
Everybody’s s! – Toothless, Stormfly, Barf & Belch, and Hookfly adorn this cool tee shirt. My son is so much in love with his tee-shirt that he wants to wear it to school also. Kids favorite is vanilla cupcakes with simple vanilla buttercream frosting. So, I made the cupcakes first and then frosting. Decide to try my hand on Viking hat and dragon cupcakes.
s a heartwarming fantasy about a Viking teen called Hiccup, who comes from a village of dragon slayers. When he shoots down his first dragon, a deadly Night Fury, he couldn’t kill it. Instead, he names the dragon Toothless, and they become best friends. Hiccup and Toothless, who looks like an adorable cross between a black cat and a newt, teach the other Vikings to live side-by-side with dragons as allies, leading to a series of adventures with teamwork and self-acceptance. How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, has new character, as love interest for Toothless. Nicknamed the Light Fury, she’s a white, feminine version of him.
Trust me if I can make the figurines you can also, as a mom it is fun to create How to Train Your Dragon 3 inspired recipe to enjoy while watching the show! I am not a great cake artist still I can do a decent job, so you can easily. I make only naked or plain cake. But for the movie night I want to add some extra special treat. I think I did maximum justice to characters as my kids are strong critics, they want to look the miniature like their favorite characters.
When told my kiddos that I am going to make How to Train Your Dragon 3 inspired recipe, my son requested it should be Viking hats, Light Fury and Toothless. He was instructing me that Toothless eye should be yellow with oval black spot and Light Fury with blue eye and black. I wanted to make miniature so it will hold on to cupcakes.
Making cupcake toppers are easy. I used fondant that I got from Walmart. Just buy black, white and grey fondant from the store. But you need to make little blue, yellow and dark grey fondant from the white fondant. Make sure to use gel colors to give darker shade to the fondant. If don’t want to buy separate fondant, then just buy white fondant and color them as you wish.
Easiest one to make is Viking hats, you just need some plastic eggs and fondant. Then comes the little tougher one’s Light Fury and Toothless. If you have an artistic touch, then you can make it more beautiful than mine. If not, you can make it like mine. So, once you made the cupcakes with its fondant toppers, make some popcorn and start watching the How to Train Your Dragon 3 - The Hidden World.
