Chrissy's Baby Shower 8/18/12

My friend Jamie asked me to make her some cupcakes for her daughters baby shower and of course I agreed...as you can see it's been a while since I have done something!! I have been so busy over the summer with the kids that it was nice to get back into the swing of things and do something that I love!

She wanted vanilla cupcakes with chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla buttercream. The colors she wanted me to use was white and turqouise...well let me tell you dying the peanut butter ones were simple since the buttercream is still pretty light in color and the white ones were a given that they would obviously stay white....the chocolate ones however were a challenge...my first batch of chocolate buttercream I tried to dye it turqouise and I came out with a baby poop color green which I figured wouldn't be too appetizing! So I made a second batch and just kept it the natural chocolate color. I made the flower pieces out of fondant which were a challenge but I was able to create 32 of them to top each cupcake with! It's all worth the hard work especially when I get positive feedback from people! Thank you Jamie for letting me do these for you! :)
