Strawberry Patch Birthday

When I got hired to make 60 cupcakes and a 6" round cake for a little girl's first birthday I couldn't think of anything funner than little strawberries and flowers. I decided to make the mini fondant strawberries in two shades of pink to emphasize the feminine look. Frosting the vanilla and chocolate cupcakes in white and light pink made for the perfect backdrop for the fondant flowers with pearl centers and independent fondant leaves completed the look. A berry happy birthday!
