An abundance of cuteness

I love a lot of things. My family, my cakes, travel, and maybe a bit more prominent at the moment... Babies (see www.lifeofmarit.blogspot.com for explaination). Babies make me go all gooey inside, and I just adore them, or as my husband would say, I am obsessed with them.

When a beautiful friend of mine announced her baby shower I just had to make something cute, sweet and edible. The choice fell on chocolate baby cupcakes with a white choc buttercream.

The little cupcake toppers are sugar paste teddy bears that I made using mould. As we don't know the sex of the baby, I made a mix of pink and blue teddies by pre colouring the paste before moulding. The little eyes and noses were painted on using a black Wilton paste colour and a very fine brush. The result were 20 oh so cute cupcakes that disappeared off the tray almost before I could put them on.
