Think Pink Cupcake Reviewed by Alison on 2009-07-08 *****
I really enjoyed making this fun item.I've been giving them away as gifts and made a couple for my daughter for tea parties.It was very adaptable: I used the inside of a toilet roll instead of foam. I made cherries, stuck a birhday candle in some, embroidered sprinkles on others and made "sugar" daisies and a rose. Enjoy!
