Woodland Animal Baby Shower Cupcakes

So it turns out that when you give me a theme that I personally think is so adorable, I go a little crazy! When my client said she was having a baby shower for a boy that was a "woodland animal" theme, I thought, "I'd better check Babies R Us and see if there's an inspiration for this idea". And I was right. Carters has a darling line of nursery decor right now called the "Tree Top" collection. So I found some pictures online (of sheets, wall hangings, lamps and such) and I sketched the little animals to match. Once I had my design sketches, I re-drew them to the right size for cupcakes. Then I cut them out and used them as templates to cut out the animals out of fondant. I admit that it was a very time-consuming process, but I think the results were worth it. I even dressed up the sprinkled cupcakes with some flowers, leaves and acorns. The cupcakes were chocolate chocolate chip, coconut, and lemon, all with vanilla icing. So cute! Makes me want to have another baby...(JUST KIDDING HONEY!) Maybe a birthday party or something...
