This is my 8 year old daughters 3 decorating job - done all by herself. She even helped do the baking. We took these to a party along side of my Uncle Sam Slide cake - and she got more complements than I did (and rightly so!). The kids gobbled up her cupcakes faster than any other dessert. BC icing - mmf accents all hand painted. She did an awsome job...we are so proud of her.
