 My wonderful Aunt's birthday was today and I told her I call making the cupcakes! Since our favorite flavor is red velvet I made those. This time I just made them out of the box, but she taught me to add a package of chocolate pudding mix into the batter. This makes them moist and delightful!




 The tip I used was #104, this is used to make roses but I did this pattern instead. When you do the flower you will move in a circular motion around the side of the cupcake, then do it again around the second layer. If you go to you tube you can find the video to see this by hand. Search making a flower out of icing, this will give you many ways and you can choose.


As you can see I move in a up, down movement. This creates a sunflower pedal. I do a lot of flowers, I do have 2 sisters,and 2 girl cousins.. I will do sport cupcakes soon. But when you do this you will do a section then you will have to turn your cupcake in order to keep your wrist even.


  

This cupcakes are a perfect idea for a young girl's birthday, Easter, and many more! I hope you love these as much as I do!

Flower Cupcakes

 This is my first blog, and I decided to put up one of my favorite cupcakes to make! Although they look like you spent hours on them, they are really quite simple.



   For this dessert you will need:
-Marshmallows
-Icing of your chose
-Sprinkles( these can be any color)
-And of course the cupcake that has already cooled
      Spread across a small layer of icing on your cupcake to support as glue.






So, your first step is to cut ever single marshmallow by hand. This is takes the longest, what I recommend is while your cupcakes are baking to cut as many as you can. Then while they are cooling do the same. You will take one marshmallow and cut is diagonal to make the "pedal" shape. After having some cut start dipping the sticky side into the sprinkles. This creates the color of your pedals.




Once you have made enough start applying the pedals. Start from the bottom around the cupcake then go to the next level and finish. When the flower is done you can set it aside and repeat the steps.


Thank you for reading my first blog! If you have questions please contact me! Hope to make more!
