Baby Shower

These are my first babyshower cupcakes made for a friend. Since I try to stay away from fondant (so far anyway---due to the taste), I wanted to stick with buttercream for the design. For the next time, I think I'll try royal icing...that will probably give more of a sheen and be a little more forgiving than the buttercream. However, changing the consistency of the buttercream will probably work just fine as well--so many decisions! Moving on, the cupcakes are yellow with lemon zest and the frosting is a lemon glaze with tangy lemon buttercream for the letters & numbers.
