pink flag cupcakes

i made these cupcakes for my sister's birthday. i think they turned out pretty cute. the flags were so easy to make. i just cut up little pieces of scrapbook paper and attached them to toothpicks. fun and PINK!

juicy couture cupcakes!

my sister in law has a collection of 'juicy couture' handbags & loves the brand, 'juicy' so i decided to try and come up with some juicy couture cupcakes for her birthday!

i made some jumbo peanut butter chocolate cupcakes to begin with {they were yum!}...

then piped on some raspberry cream frosting i made with a jumbo #1c tip {the frosting tasted EXACTLY like cream savers!}...

and as for the cupcake toppers:

i found some wooden shapes at the craft store {crowns, hearts, royalty symbols} that worked perfectly! i got so excited when i found them! i revised them a bit and then matched the colors in photoshop and made some 'juicy couture' logos {gotta love google images}...which i printed, cut, and glued onto the crowns etc. i then painted some regular kitchen skewers and glued them to the backs of the shapes...and walla!

swirly fun cupcakes

i made these with fondant (that i dyed pink), green frosting, & yellow nonpareils :). fondant definitely doesn't taste the best, but i just love the look of it..all smoothe! i do have a recipe for a marshmellow fondant that's suppose to taste good..i need to try it!

princess cupcakes

my friend jamie asked for some ideas for princess cupcakes. i've been thinking about what would be cute ever since i read your comment this morning jamie :). i came up with this cupcake while my boys were napping today. it was really fun :). i cut two stars from some scrapbook paper...hot glued a sucker stick & some wrapping paper ribbon inbetween the two to make a princess wand...then cut a large circle out of pink tissue paper and hot glued it to the cupcake wrapper to add some spice :). i had some princess ribbon lying around (i have tons of ribbon bc i used to make things & sell 'em on ebay) that i glued to the outside of the base. oh, and the cupcake is just regular chocolate with strawberry frosting and fun pink sprinkles :). man, i need a little girl or something :).
