Fondant + Love = Bridal Shower Cupcakes!



Above are the flags I had made from an etsy seller. They came out adorable!!


I liked this design the best. But that was wayyy more time-consuming, so I stuck with the hearts. :)

This past Saturday, a friend of mine had her bridal shower. I had been asked months ago to make the cupcakes (the bride LOVES cupcakes, and also loves the color pink). I said yes, and later worried how my back would fare. Although I was still excited that I would have a reason to use my decorating skills again. I only do dessert decorating every so often because it is so time-consuming for me and it involves a lot of strain on my back and neck. But it is a love of mine.
I love love love seeing my finished product, and am proud of the work that I did. I looking at something completed, and having the feeling that I followed something through to completion. Is that weird? I also love seeing the look on people's faces when they see my cakes. This was the first time I did cupcakes (way easier than cake!), and the first time I did this for someone other than family. And the second time I have worked with fondant.

If I get enough requests, I will post a how-to, complete with step-by-step photos. But I am going to see if enough people are interested first. It truly is not difficult, just very time-consuming.

They turned out beautifully! I've never seen cupcakes with the fondant, I like them!

Isn't it great when something needs to get done, how we seem to have a little blessing AKA tender mercy to help us through?

Those turned out beautiful Rachel!! You are so talented! I can only imagine how bad I'd mess those up! By the way. Thank you so much for the suprise the other night in the mail box. YUMMY! Did you make those too? That was very sweet of you!

Hey Mindi- Yep, I made those too! Cookies weren't from scratch, though. Nancee and Erica helped decorate. :)
