Last week's confection was for a "Butterfly Garden" themed baby shower. The request was for 5 dozen cupcakes, each dozen a different flavor, which the customer chose. This one was fun for me.. the most tedious part was making 60+ fondant butterfly/flower cupcake toppers.. but they turned out so pretty that of course it was worth it ;) I found this tutorial online where they cut out the butterfly shape with a butterfly cutter.. then cut out different shapes inside the butterfly with other small cutters (hearts, etc.) and various icing tips. The end result are beautiful butterflies with sort of a "lace" look to them (genius!) Here is a link to the blog Lace Butterfly Tutorial
Here are some of the toppers.. colors and design matched the baby shower invitation.
I also added a little sparkle to them :)
Here are the cupcakes (pre-frosting & toppers)
Butter Pecan, Banana, Lemon, White with Strawberry Fruit filling, and Coconut
..and here are the completed cupcakes with frosting and all
I also made this flavor signage for the shower..
just so it would be easy for guests to choose which flavor they did {or didn't} want :)
