Birthday Cupcakes for Three Fashionable Gals!




Little girls love Barbies, and big girls love their designer shoes and bags! They don't seem to have enough of them, and even want them on their cupcakes!

This was designed for a birthday celebration for 3 very fashion-savvy young ladies. Their friend was spot-on on their first loves and it was most appropriate to decorate the cupcakes with shoes and bags. We even worked out what each one of the birthday girl's taste in shoes/bags was - YinYin is all prim and proper in her perfectly matched stilletoes and prissy handbag, Agnes loves monochromes and is into comfy chunky sandals and roomy bags, Alicia zooms in on platforms and large carryalls.

The cake was all-time fave Moist Choc with bittersweet choc ganache topping (the surprise was a filling of homemade raspberry jam) - an indulgent double dose of choc - and the 16-pc set was perfect for the party of eight.

With all the hand-moulded fondant shoes and bags on the cupcake, I went back to my scrapbooking kit to whip up hand-embossed name banners for the birthday girls.

I heard the girls loved it - Agnes, who has 'lost' her sweet tooth for a while, actually indulged in 2 cupcakes!
