Babies + Birdies

I looked at the invitation and gazed off into space......what would I do? My friend and loyal blog follower (I assume she follows loyally) asked me to make some cupcakes for her baby shower. I was given free reign but she suggested a bird theme.

I decided, after combing through every store at my local shopping centre for a bird shaped cutter, that I could pipe little cupcake toppers! Genius! Cogs turning.....I could use the birds on the invite, print them out at an appropriate size, stick them under my trusty piece of perspex and pipe royal icing over the top! Cue crowd clapping in my head.

These were surprisingly easy and non-time consuming - I love discovering a new design technique! This could be done with nearly anything - could copy invitation designs, favourite patterns, landscapes, cityscapes - oh the possibilities!

These little morsels are citrus white chocolate mud cake - yummy and fresh - perfect for an afternoon gathering of ladies.

Good luck Pippa - can't wait to meet Squirt!
