This is my first time adressing all of you in this Forum!  I'm trying to make this for my sister in law's 60th birthday as it is her favorite cake.  Since I'm already making her a two tiered cake made out as a lake with all her grandkids swimming in it, I don't have a lot of time for research so I'm asking for your educted guess' or your experience for the queen Elizabeth cupcakes.  Thank you for your time, it's much appreciated.
