In the world of little boys, there’s no pink, no frills and no sparkle. So I jumped at the chance to make cupcakes for a friend’s beautiful twin girls’ birthday party. The theme? Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious. Two names I’ve never heard, given that I am mama to a little boy. As you can imagine, I was very excited to see what we could come up with. The girls were present at the guitar party (which I’ll be posting about soon. I was too excited to get a girly-something up), so their mom and dad had already sampled the Raspberry cupcake. The raspberry cupcake is a vanilla butter cake with raspberry filling and a lovely cream cheese frosting. And here’s the result:
I wanted to mix things up a bit by leaving some cupcakes simply decorated with frosting and edible glitter, some with just a flower or cherry accent, and some with a full fondant top, complete with glitter. I’m not personally a fan of eating fondant, but I love what you can do with it from a design perspective.
