Today I have been making cupcakes with buttercream. I used a vanilla pound cake and buttercream icing for the top.
For the decorations I used small flowers made out of sugar paste/fondant icing and some sugar roses made of royal icing. Check out my favourite cupcake books on my Amazon cake book store UK or US.
Happy Caking
