Special Cupcakes for a Special Girl

It was my youngest daughters birthday earlier this month and I made some cupcakes for her to have with her friends at school, although I was going for simple pretty buttercream with sprinkles and love heart sweets she begged for butterflies.

How could I possibly refuse? Considering that these all had to be edible the only way to make them look as if they had just landed on the cakes was to make them with petal paste and then dust individually with yellow and pink. A sprinkle of edible glitter added that extra special touch perfect for a gaggle of little 5 year olds!

Even though it meant staying up until 2am to create these pretty cakes the look on her face in the morning was worth the extra bags under my eyes!
