The Mane Event
To celebrate my little Leo's first birthday, I went with a lion theme. I found this awesome lion cupcake design from Coco Cupcakes. I had Tonnie's Minis in Harlem execute them in buttercream with the multi-colored ears and chocolate manes of course! They were definitely a hit, even if a little beat up from the ride to the Sag Harbor. I assume the design from Coco Cupcakes uses fondant so the design looks much cleaner, but I prefer the taste of buttercream!

I've checked out the cupcakes and they sure are gorgeous! Even if they indeed look lions, they don't look scary but adorable! I think I could try some this weekened.
