Earlier this year AW's talented mommy, Montgomery area photographer Allison Hilyer, beautifully captured the fun of Mary Ashley's cupcake baking birthday party. So I wanted to return the favor by making a cake or cupcakes for Ann Welch.
These strawberry cupcakes were topped with swirls of buttercream icing piped on with a large star tip. Then with a smaller star tip, I added swirls of turquoise icing. To make the rose toppers, I rolled pink Wilton fondant out thin, cut it into strips and rolled it. For the final icing details, I used a v-shaped tip to pipe three leaves around each rose and used a small round tip to add the zigzag of icing around the rim. Green Wilton candy pearls tucked into the turquoise icing add the final touch.
Still to come this week, a holiday giveaway.

Melissa, I have no idea what is going on (mabye it's my computer or blogger or the storage place for your pics), but I can't get your pictures to load!
Can you see them? I even tried refreshing the page. I know it's adorable, so I will try to stop by again.
XO,
Sheila
Sheila, They aren't on my computer either. I will come back and visit later.

I can't see them either!
no pics! :(
This is so strange. I could see the photos on my mainframe, but not on my iPad. So I have deleted the photos I uploaded from Picasa and manually uploaded them from Blogger. I hope this works!
I can see them. They were so YUMMY! Thank you!!
Those are just beautiful. You have quite a talent.
Melissa, these look too good to eat. They are beautiful just like all your talented decorating skills. And being that they are strawberry is like "icing on the [cup]cake."
Those are beautiful!
So Pretty! You do such a great job!
