Chocolate dipped flower cupcakes

I made these for my little sister's 6th birthday to take to class to share with her friends. I tried something new.... I cut a flower out of pound cake and then dipped it in melted icing. The icing wasn't working too well so I decided to try melted chocolate. That worked great! I tinted it peach and then put a fondant 6 on top.  They were pretty yummy too!

Black & Yellow Shower Cupcakes

Sweat Pea Cupcakes

I made these for a friends baby shower. The pink petals are buttercream icing with sugar sprinkles. The peas are fondant, then I added 2 dots of pink shimmer dust on the cheeks. I also put green shimmer dust on the green peas. I think they turned out pretty cute!
