Hey all,

I love the cupcakes in this picture

and am wondering, what exactly are the blue disks/decorations made of? Gumpaste? Fondant?

Also, any idea what gel color to use to get that shade of hot pink in my buttercream?

Thanks for your suggestions!

AAmericolor electric pink.

Some are fondant & some (like butterfly) may be combo or gumpaste.

Thanks for the speedy response! I will have to go out an buy that color.

AHajra,I used spectrum deep pink .I used a combo of fondant and flower paste and flavoured the paste with strawberry oil.

ASorry Hajra,I just checked my other pic on my flickr stream.It's It's a powder not a gel ...the name on the tub says just pink concentrate. I bought it here foodpak.co.za/index.php?option=com_content& task=view&... I posted a pic of the colours at the bottom of the page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shamsd/4498734601/in/photostream/
