I love the bright colours of these cupcakes :) They're really easy to make - I used this recipe to make strawberry flavoured cakes. Half the cakes were iced in blue glace icing and half were iced in red. I left the icing to set before piping white glace icing on top - that stopped the white from sinking into the colour underneath.
I finished off the cakes by making some toppers with my Rule Britannia printables. I made the toppers by sandwiching a cocktail stick between two circles. Some of the circles were hand cut with scissors and some were cut with a 2 inch scalloped circle punch.
I also made some bunting with my Rule Britannia scrapbooking paper - you can print this template and use it to make your own bunting. Plain red, white and blue papers would look good too.
