Strike a Pose

Matt and I have been interested in creating a sculpture for a couple of weeks. Nothing like The David, just a cupcake sculpture. Two of my nieces had big birthdays last week (16 and 13), and we were heading down to Little Rock to celebrate, so we decided it was the perfect occassion to try our hand at the sculpture.

My 16 year-old niece, Blair, is very artsy and has lots of artwork she has created on her wall. So, my designer husband sketched out a cupcake that reflected some of her abstract work. For my 13 year-old niece, Taylor, you can never go wrong with anything girly, so we created pink sparkly swirls with green swirl accents. We mounted all the cupcakes on a piece of styrofome, and tada! The sculpture was a hit, and the cupcakes disappeared quickly. (We might have even had leftovers for breakfast the next morning!)

Hope you enjoy! It's a little departure from our fondant work, but fun nonetheless!
