We used icing tips (Wilton #1M and #5 ) to form the fondant buttons. First, you’ll want to cut out button shapes from the bottom of Wilton tip # 1m. Then, you’ll use the bottom of Wilton tip #5 to mark the smaller circle within your button. Use the other end of the tip to mark 4 small button holes in the middle of your fondant. Place each button on your lined baking sheet. Brush off the excess cornstarch if necessary.
