I'm not a fan of cupcakes. I forget about them in the oven and burn them, and I never know what to do to decorate them. I was hoping not to mention my anti-cupcake sentiments to my friend who asked if I would make some for her daughter's birthday. I was hoping it wouldn't come up, but, of course it did. Another of my friends made sure to comment.
I do have to admit that this project went better than I would have expected. And, just maybe, cupcakes might be growing on me a bit.

I found this adorable cupcake tower, by Bella Cupcakes on flickr, and based mine on it. I built the tower myself, which took some work, but I made sure that it's sturdy and I can totally use it again. The cupcakes and cake are strawberry with vanilla icing. I had a great time making all the little crowns and wands from fondant and gumpaste. I haven't done anything that involved a lot of prep work like this in awhile and I really enjoyed it.
I also loved that the birthday girl made sure her mom kept her princess.
