This cupcake was a birthday surprise last week for our little friend Ann Welch.
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.
Happy Birthday, Ann Welch!
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!
