My cousin's baby boy turned 1 year old last weekend and I made 4 dozen "camping" themed cupcakes...yikes!
The pretty invitation card below was my inspiration for the cupcake decorations. The cards are made out of bark - created by Courtney Barker
Courtney has an etsy shop, and will be launching her business and blog soon.

These decorations are made of fondant and gum paste.
Then I kneaded and marbleized the fondant, and shaped them using these molds
And of course did a whole lot of cutting and shaping into very little pieces
Here's the family - my cousin, her cute baby boy and that's really Papa Bear inside
And as you can see from the pictures below, all my 14 hours of hard work paid off...Baby Milton LUV'd my cupcakes!
Making 4 dozen cupcakes is hard work indeed! So after 14 hours of standing up, it was time for me to rest my poor swollen feet and truly enjoyed a big cup of iced chai tea latte sans cupcake...no for me, this simple cheese tart was my reward.

Your cupcakes were a hit for sure, they look yummy and pretty, love the way you displayed them. I have worked with fondant before decorating cakes and indeed, they take a long time to finish. Wishing you a fast recovery lol!
That baby is the cutest ever!

Hello, Marie
I take it you have a fair degree of patience in order to create the camp themed cupcakes! I'm glad the little guy enjoyed them!
Thank you for stopping by my blog.
