After much pondering I decided to stick with a vanilla cupcake. I used the recipe from the Love Bakery book - I love this recipe! It is by far the best vanilla cupcake recipe I have tried! I bought a little doggy bone and a little doggy paw cutter for the sugar decorations and kept to a blue and white theme. The only slight problem I encountered was colouring the butter cream - I wanted it to match the blue of the paws and bows but it hadn't crossed my mind that butter cream is off white....I ended up with green butter cream..panic!! I added a tad more of the colour and it seemed to right itself but ended up being a slightly darker shade - no one seemed to mind though as they tucked in!
Sorry about the poor pictures - I was literally running out the door with my cake box when I realised I hadn't taken any pictures!

I was trying to find the email they sent me to confirm the order but i cant find it. I'm 99% sure it was this company i ordered from! They have quite a good selection of cutters :)
Fantastic! I like the colour of the icing too, nobody need ever know they were a touch darker than planned lol. You did a great job, I'm not surprised everyone loved them.
