EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Use edible glitter in place of the colored sugar for extra sparkle.

Check out party-supply or cake-decorating stores for fun birthday candles.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I thought these were super cute, so I was excited to make them for my boyfriend's sister's birthday today. They were pretty easy to decorate, but they didn't turn out looking as nice as the picture. It was difficult to arrange the "petals" in that same way where they are overlapping, so don't expect them to look like that. It also made it more difficult because cupcakes aren't flat on top, they're more domed, so the petals were sort of sliding apart. Even still, they're still very cute and everyone liked them. And I used white icing and colored it bright green to make the flowers really pop off the cupcake.

I made these cupcakes for a one year old's birthday party. I also made a small smash cake with a couple of flowers for decoration. I used brightly colored sugar for a more wow impact. I filled the center of the flower with a a little blog of colored icing. Two things to keep in mind: oil your scissors (which will need a good scrub afterwards) and press the flowers in while the icing is still wet so the marshmallow sticks.
