Clown Cupcakes

For our daughters 3rd birthday, I made clown cupcakes. Something we had done in my Wilton cake decorating classes, but I haven’t done for years.  So here are the results.  They didnt come out quite like i wanted, mainly becauses I used real butter in my buttercream rather than the crisco.  As a result, the clowns were soft and didn’t sit up as well.  But it tasted a heck of a lot better than using the lard!
