Duke Cupcakes

So, I admit it - I had to put personal allegiances aside for this project, being the (HUGE!!!) UNC fan that I am! (Which I'll admit is laughable since I actually work at the darker blue institution). These cupcakes were requested to celebrate a huge Duke fan's Birthday :) Vanilla cupcakes with blue vanilla buttercream icing swirls - half topped with hand cut gum paste "D" toppers, the other half with simple white sprinkles to carry on the blue/white theme! Even though I prefer the lighter blue, I loved how these turned out and I'll admit - wouldn't mind doing more of these ;)
