Fairy cupcakes

This is the 2nd cupcakes that I baked just now, the request was from my son Desmond. The 1st cupcake that i baked from the cupcakes recipe book (given by Jane) was a Marble Chocolate cupcakes. But this fairy cupcake is not my cup of tea but kids like it as they like the icing frosting.

We decorated with few type cake decoration balls.

These was decorated by Desmond, he just mixed it up !!
