We had a baby shower for my cousin's wife back in the first part of December. Since then they have had their beautiful baby girl. She is so pretty and the new parents are tickled pink and the grandparents, well they are on cloud nine as is Aunt R.
I used the same cupcake stand as before and added a 6 inch cake to the top.
We had a bridal shower for a special lady at church a couple of weeks ago. I had read about and seen so many pictures of beautiful cupcake stands and I saw the shower as a perfect opportunity to try one out.
First I had to make the stand. If you google cupcake stands you can find lots of instructions, but here's a site to get started. I did it basically like this, but in between each tier, I used a glass container full of decorative glass balls to match. Here is the finished cupcake stand.
Now for the cupcakes. As you can see I went with the colors pink, blue and chocolate brown. I made some yellow cupcakes and some chocolate cupcakes with delicious chocolate chips inside. The icing was an assortment of chocolate buttercream and white buttercream (colored pink of course). To finish them off I made little flowers out of fondant.
These were so much fun and I loved how it turned out!
Now I'm off to work on this beautiful lady's wedding cake (gasp)! Wish me luck and look for pictures next week. Have a great weekend!
