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.

UK Scrappers Weekly Challenge June Week 3

This week's challenge was set by Cosmic and she set the following rules:

- For 10 points, lets scrap the animals and birds that co exist with us in our everyday lives.
- For 5 points, go MAD with embellishments...THE MORE, THE BETTER!
- For 5 points, I'm liking the colour blue at the moment, so I want to see a splash or a lot of blue on your layouts.
- For 10 points, I like to concentrate on one area of the page on some of my layouts, be it a corner or the whole of one edge.
I have used Over The Rainbow digi kit by Kate Hadfield. It is so scrummy and bright.
This is a picture of our wedding where our dog Ben (on the right) and the in-laws dog also called Ben (on the left) were the special guests complete with coordinated dickie bows. Unfortunately neither dog is still with us. I miss my little Benny everyday - he was my little baby.
Full points for the Crafty Magpies
