Both teirs were rolled in sparkling sugar while they were still cold & easy to handle with bare hands then I added the pink scrolls and the #16- I meant to make it a full 3 teirs, an 8, 6 & 4 but it felt a bit unstable so I set some extra cupcakes on top instead & surrounded the 4 in teir with the rest of the cupcakes....the birthday girl LOVED it!
