This was for a friend’s baby girl, who just turned 1. It’s covered in fondant, with cut-out dots and a pearl border. The teddy bear and the alphabet blocks are also fondant, hand-painted. Next time I think I’ll dye the fondant for the bear instead of painting - it gave a neat old-leather-bear look, but not quite the pastel thing I had in mind.
The front side of the blocks have her initials and “1″ for her level score. The cupcake’s candle, by the way, is this really neat oil candle that actually burns a pink flame!
Here are a couple shots of the cute birthday girl checking out her cupcake. The cupcake was a low-fat, low-sugar recipe with cream cheese and fruit yogurt frosting, chosen by her mom for her.
