Cupcake Bouquet

Edible Flowers

Hello everyone! It is my boyfriends mum's birthday on Sunday and I thought a cupcake bouquet would be a lovely birthday present for her! When I went to Cake International, Queen of Hearts Couture Cupcakes showed us how to make a cupcake bouquet.

All you need is a paper plate, some plastic cups, sellotape and some tissue paper! You just stick as many cups as you like together, stick it to the plate then stick some tissue paper around the outside. Then tuck some different coloured tissue paper into each cup and there you have it!

 

I used my favourite bbc GoodFood lemon cake recipe again and separated the mixture into cupcake cases in a muffin tray. The recipe gives such moist delicious cakes! 

I then attempted to make some lemon buttercream flowers (I am not sure what these are!). I have to admit, I struggled to remember the different flowers Queen of Hearts showed us at Cake International! I am still pleased with the results though.

I then covered them in edible glitter and pearlised balls. I think Mary liked them, so all was successful! I think the end product looks pretty good, I just need some more practice with buttercream (slowly becoming my nemesis)!

 Thanks for reading!
