Tangled Cupcakes

I am catching up on some blog posts.... I keep up with my Facebook page a little better.... copying some cakes from there to here now.  Here are the Tangled cupcakes I made for a friend over a year ago.  One cupcake, for the birthday girl has a mini fondant tower on it.  The others have the Tangled "sun" design.
