Leslie's Nesting

My little sisters' nesting theme bay shower, and it turned out Super-Duper Cute!

I told her I would make the cupcakes and the cake. this was my second or third time using the amazing Pastry Pride frosting (sold at Smart & Final) which by the way is super delish! It's not too sweet, it's actually just perfect!

I had to start my project early, days in advance, early! Because i had to create the little birdies...

I used gumpaste to shape them, them let them dry for a few days before I gave them faces

Sorry about the first 4 pics, I used my phone camera...quality not so great.

Then I made the cupcakes, toasted some coconut in the oven, frosted the cupcakes, then sprinkled the coconut on top, and finally added the cute little birdies! Sooo CUTE!

These were some other style cupcakes & the cake.

For the cake, I piped the leaves out of royal frosting,

let them dry and loved how they turned out!
