So I posted last week that it was my niece's third birthday, and y'all know I went to Birmingham the weekend before Valentine's day to see her & give her her birthday presents & make her cupcakes. My sister posted pictures on FB last night & one is Addy with one of the flamingo cupcakes I made her.

I always love Addy pictures, but I'm proud of how those little pink birds turned out. I got the idea from a book called "What's New Cupcake?" but kind of changed a few things according to what I had. I made marshmallow fondant (SO easy, and way yummier than Wilton) for the heads & wings, and the neck is a pretzel stick. I covered them with melted white chocolate with a little bit of pink gel food coloring & stuck a half of a banana Runt to the head as a beak. And the body is just a vanilla lemon cupcake dyed light pink with pink vanilla buttercream covered in pink coconut. Booyah.
