Sunflower cupcake
What You Need: 1 cupcake; yellow icing in can or icing tinted yellow and pastry bag; leaf tip (comes with the can); mini chocolate chips.
How to Make It: Using yellow icing and leaf tip, make a layer of petals around the edge of the cupcake, and then a second layer overlapping that. Sprinkle chocolate chips in center.
These sunflower cupcakes are minty fresh and easy-as-can-be.
What You Need: 1 cupcake; frosting (white or whatever you’d like); yellow mini mints (smooth and melty, the kind with white nonpareils on the flat side); chocolate sprinkles.
How to Make It: Frost cupcake white. Add yellow mints, arranged in two circles but leaving a space in the center. Sprinkle chocolate jimmies in the center, guiding them with your hand or a funnel.
In a future post, we’ll show you how to make sunflower cupcakes with a decorating bag and star tip, but for those of you without the tools or time for that fanciness, here’s how to go about making easy sunflower cupcakes.
What You Need: 1 cupcake (baked and cooled); icing tinted yellow; brown M&Ms.
How To Make It: Frost cupcake yellow. Make sure to get a good, thick coat of icing on there. Then, use a knife or small spatula to pull the frosting up into peaks. Then simply drop three brown M&Ms into the center. Voila! Sunflowers.
