A "rocking" baby shower


 These cute rocking horse-themed cupcakes were a big deal for me:  This was my first order for someone I didn't personally know, and they turned out to be a huge success!  When the woman contacted me, she told me to be my imaginative self and that everyone who would be attending the baby shower, loved horses.  I immediately thought rocking horses would be perfect!


I was also able to get creative with flavors, so I tried one of my new recipes; an orange vanilla bean cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting.  From what I gather, they were the hit of the party.  I also made chocolate cupcakes topped with the same delicious vanilla buttercream, for those who love that classic combo.


The adorably edible horses were made out of chocolate and the flowers were made from gum paste.
