Birthday Bonanza – Summer Themed Cupcakes

Over the summer, I was thrilled to be asked to bake some cupcakes for a little girl’s first birthday party.  Her mom, one of my good friends, expressed that the theme would be a summer/butterfly theme.  She let me run with it.

Decided to top each cupcake with shortbread cookies shaped as flowers, hearts, and of course butterflies.  Homemade royal icing to paint the cookies with.

Standard flavours, chocolate, vanilla and my fave, lemon with bright coloured buttercream.
