Lightening McQueen Baby Shower Cupcakes

These cute & fun cupcakes were for a baby shower.  The mother to be knew that she would be having a beautiful baby boy & had decorated his nursery with a Cars & Lightening McQueen theme so a lovely friend decided that that would be a great theme for the baby shower cupcakes she was getting for her.

There were 3 dozen cupcakes altogether, 1 dozen with Lightening McQueen toppers, 1 dozen with "I's a Boy" toppers & 1 dozen with "Pitter Patter of Little Feet" toppers.

The cake flavour was 'Blondie' (vanilla butter cake) which was topped with vanilla Italian meringue buttercream frosting, tinted blue.  Followed by some red sugar sprinkles & then of course the 3 different toppers which I hand made using fondant, royal icing, edible dusts & edible pens.

Lightening was quite tricky & took forever to do but I was pretty happy with how he turned out.

Apparently they went down very well.  "They were a big hit, I think most of the girsl from the shower got your number :) Thanks again!" Jessica
