Vanilla Floral Cupcakes

Oh how pretty these cupcakes were, beautiful girly colours & the flowers so dainty, they were the perfect Mothers Day treat, definitely some of my favourite to date I think but would also be great for a wedding or engagement.


It was decided to go with classic vanilla for both the cake & the frosting for these cupcakes which was a great choice I think.

The cakes were 'Blondie' (vanilla bean butter cake) & I recommended (as I often do because it is one of my favourites) Swiss meringue buttercream for the frosting which is very, very silky & soft compared to standard buttercream.



For the toppers I made 4 different sizes & shapes of flower blossoms using sugarpaste in two different shades of pink.

I then made the blossoms two tone with the use of edible petal dust & lustre dust & added some sugar balls to the centre of each.



Finally I finished each of them off with a light sprinkle of pink coloured sugar crystals.
