I know I haven't posted in a long time and I apologize. I started another project at the beginning of the year that has taken up all my spare time. Now that summer is here, along with birthday parties, holidays, and family get-togethers, my baking is in full swing again. Here is a recent design I'd like to share with you: Sunflower cupcakes.
Ingredients
Any flavored cupcakes of your choice
Vanilla or Buttercream icing
Green and yellow Wilton food coloring gels
miniature oreo cookies
I colored my icing green and started with a basic foundation, piping large rosettes using a Wilton 1M tip.
I arranged the miniature oreos onto the cupcak in a desired pattern.
After coloring part of the icing yellow, I piped the sunflower petals using a Wilton #14 tip. To do this, squeeze a small amount of icing onto the cookie and release the pressure on the piping bag as you pull away. You may fill the cookie with as many layers of petals as you wish. I piped two rows.
Using a Wilton #352 tip, I piped leaves spreading out beneath the flowers (which is hard to see in this picture).
This was the end result- quick, classy, and easy.
Hope you enjoy it.
Happy Baking!
