Cupcakes For Ethan

About a month ago a little boy named Ethan passed away. He was only 9 and had been battling leukemia for quite some time. It was his third bout with cancer when he became ill with pneumonia. He just wasn't strong enough to fight it off. In effort to raise money to help his family with all the expenses they were facing I decided to sell cupcakes. He loved rubber ducks which is why I placed little yellow candy melt ducks on the cupcakes.

What I Used:
Basic Yellow Cake
Butter Cream Icing
Blue Icing Paste
