Layers

My little cousin celebrates her birthday around 4th of July and she made a special request for me to bake her birthday cupcakes.  So I tried to make them fun and festive for her and I really loved the way that the colors came out.  Although this takes some time to do all of the layers, it was well worth the smiles that it brought to her face.  The birthday girl loved them; she is already planning her colors for next year's birthday.
