Cupcakes for a Cause: Australia's Biggest Morning Tea

My boss' mum is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer and her friends are hosting a soiree for Australia's Biggest Morning Tea. Jo wanted to contribute to the cause, so she asked me to bake some cupcakes for the occasion.

Jo left the design up to me, but I knew we had to incorporate the signature pink ribbon.

I created some pink ribbon toppers with fondant. These were done by cutting circles of white fondant and strips of pink fondant. The strips were cut to size and were folded over to create the ribbon effect.

I baked some vanilla bean cupcakes and topped them with pink vanilla buttercream. Loving my huge new Loyal star tip (even more huge than my old one! Woo!) I added some edible glitter for some extra sparkle.

As a special pressie for Jo and her mum I made a couple of extras and decorated them with some of my sugar roses.

I boxed them up in some noodle boxes and finished them with some deep pink ribbon. Preeeetty.
