Darcey's Birthday Cupcakes


It is my friend's little girl's birthday party today and I said I would make some cupcakes. I made the hearts and the letters yesterday and then I made the cakes last night and decorated them this morning.
On top of each cake is a thin layer of buttercream and then a white fondant disc of icing. I have found a 2.5 inch scone cutter makes the perfect size disc!
The heart is cut from red fondant that I added some gum tragacanth to firm it up a bit and the letters are cut using flowerpaster and Tappits Funky letter set.
