4th Birthday Princess Cupcakes

personalized 4th birthday jumbo cupcake 

 Catching up on some of our princess creations - this one was done for a 4th birthday celebration for a princess party that was held at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad park in Scottsdale. Cinderella was making an appearance so we incorporated blue in addition to pink and purple. Our cupcakes were iced with our glitter icing and topped with tiaras, castles, magic wands, flowers, butterflies, princess gown and carriage. We made a personalized jumbo cupcake for the birthday girl and a mix of regular and mini cupcakes for the guests and their parents.
