These are my favorite cupcakes to this day. I am very pleased with how they turned out and can't wait to make them again. I did these for a baby shower the other weekend and everyone loved them. They just look so sweet and so innocent which is perfect for a baby shower.
First I drew out a template to follow and cut it out and then placed it on fondant and cut it out. I did three of each bird and then 2 of each initials, which equals 12 cupcakes altogether. I placed the cut out fondant birds aside and then cut out my flowers for the initials. I picked these colors because they seemed sweet. After I cut out my flowers I placed the letter stamps I wanted on the middle of them and pushed down. Once I pulled it up it engraved the initial in the fondant; this takes no time at all! I then added two accent flowers on each one to give it a little more detail.
Next I went back to the birds and started adding the detail to them. I first drew the pink design on three of them with an edible marker. Then I used a yellow marker on the other three. You can change up the design and do whatever you want, and you can also change up the colors too. I cut out the wings for the pink birds with a leaf fondant cutter and then placed a small flower in the middle of each one. For the yellow dotted birds I used a leaf mold that was a little more detailed and placed it on the bird. Last but not least I mixed some icing to get a light green color and iced my cupcakes.
These were easy, fun and everyone at the shower loved them. You should definitely keep these in mind if you have to make something for a baby shower. Your guests will be absolutely thrilled!
Super cute!! Good job!
