Gluten free strawberry & rose cupcakes

Gluten free Strawberry rose cupcakes
By Torie Jayne @

I spent this Valentine's day at my adorable niece's Christening. My sister's wedding was butterfly themed so she asked me if I could make some fondant butterflies in pink and turquoise with which to decorate the Christening cake. Well, how could I refuse! I adore little Molly and wanted to make the day really special for her. I made loads of fondant butterflies so decided to whip up a batch of cupcakes for the remaining butterflies.

Fresh strawberry cupcakes with a hint of rose flavour, with peaks of piped cream cheese frosting, adorned with pretty pink fondant butterflies...
