* I used a wilton 1M open star and a large piping bag to frost cupcakes. Start on the outside swirling in and then swirl up to make frosting top. I found the opal sanding sugar at Orson Gygi’s and the teal aqua Wilton color gel and cupcake wrappers at Hobby Lobby.
Tiffany Blue and Vanilla Cupcakes were so much fun to make and tasted simply amazing! The perfect way celebrate my sweet 16 year olds special day 🙂

I’m so excited about these cupcakes. I already planned to feature them because they were so pretty, but when I checked the recipe and discovered that they were gluten-free, I was thrilled! Great job on these beautiful cupcakes. I can’t wait to see what greek yogurt and sour cream does to the flavor. I’ll be featuring this fantastic idea later today at OneCreativeMommy.com. Please stop by and grab a featured button if you’d like. I hope you’ll be back to link up on Friday.
