Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 16 White Cupcakes Homemade or Boxed
- 2 Cups Vanilla Frosting Homemade or Store Bought
- Pink Gel Food Coloring
- Violet Gel Food Coloring
- Green Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- Make the cupcakes according to the package instructions.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Divide the vanilla frosting into four bowls. In the first bowl, add the pink food coloring. In the second bowl, add the violet food coloring. In the third, add the green food coloring. Add the remaining white frosting to the fourth bowl.
- Transfer the pink frosting to a piping bag fitted with a flower tip or 1M. Transfer the violet frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Transfer the green frosting to a piping bag fitted with a leaf tip #352. Add the remaining white frosting to a bowl and set aside.
- Start by spreading some white frosting on top of the cupcake. We found it easier for the flowers to stick to the cupcake if we did this first.
- For the pink frosting, begin in the center. Hold the bag upright and begin to squeeze the frosting. Move your hand in a circular motion until you get the desired flower size, then gently pull away.
- For the violet frosting, hold the bag straight up, with the tip slightly touching the cupcake. Start squeezing to allow the frosting to build up and form a star. Lift straight up to finish the flower.
- To pipe green leaves, start by holding the bag at a slight upward angle from the flower. Make sure the tip is vertical and looks like an open beak. Squeeze firmly to begin forming the leaf base. As you are squeezing, slowly pull the tip up to get the length you want.
- Continue alternating the color frostings to make a bunch of flowers and create a bouquet. Continue until all cupcakes are decorated. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 4 days.
- Check out this site for temperatures for all baked goods. This helped ensure the cupcakes were moist and super soft.
- You can start with any color you want. Have fun here and have fun with the colors.
