Pink Giant Cupcake

Pink Giant Cupcake 

I made this giant cupcake for my friends birthday. It is vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and is topped with pink glittery buttercream roses and white fondant butterflies. The cupcake 'wrapper' was made using white chocolate fingers. I also made some 'Happy Birthday' mini cupcakes to go with it.

    I'm in 8th grade and in a cake decorating class, did you do a base icing or start with the outside flowers?

    Hi
    I usually do a thin base coat of icing before piping the flowers.
