I made these adorable Ballerina Cupcakes for my friend's little girl's 3 year old Birthday Party. I used the Wedding Cupcake recipe and tinted the batter and frosting pink. I bought ready made gum paste, tinted it pink as well, and cut the leotard bodices out with an exacto knife. I sprinkled peony color Disco Dust on the bodices before they set up. I rolled a bunch of little white gum paste balls, then positioned five or six of them in the shape of a flower. I attached them to the bodices once they hardened, with icing, but I would use Tylo Glue if I had to do it again. I piped the cupcakes with a large ribbon tip, sprinkled them with peony color Disco Dust and embellished them with edible pearls. I was tickled PINK with the way they turned out!
