I always make too mush frosting. I am constantly paranoid of running out while decorating a cake. This results in the top shelf of my fridge being devoted to tubs of different colours and flavours of frosting. Sometimes I get around to using it up and other times it goes too hard and has to be thrown away. Most of the time the latter is the case.
With my recent Chalkboard cake, I had a little left of each colour used along with some white vanilla frosting from a previous project before that.
It had crusted over so a good mix and a little water was needed to bring it back to life. I mixed the white frosting in with the purple and had plenty to make a batch of cupcakes with.
One of my earliest pins was this.
I discovered Glorious Treats from this one pin and I have been a fan ever since! If you haven't already seen Glory's blog, check it out here.
I have wanted to recreate these for a while. Here is my version of Glory's cupcakes.
I didn't blend my colours like Glory, however, I used the same tip for each colour so that there was a little transfer on a couple of the cupcakes. I used Wilton tip 129 and filled my bag half way with frosting. Using a 90' angle (straight up) I began by piping a flower in the middle.
I then piped a couple more either side of the first one, and continued around to the edge.
This can be a very random technique and you can over pipe.
I filled the whole top of the cupcake with flowers to achieve the look of a Hydrangea.
I did the same technique for each cupcake. This is so simple and quick. They would make a lovely gift for a Mum, Grandma or friend. Perfect for birthdays, Mother's Day, or just to say Thank you!
Beautiful and bright!
They look equally nice if they are all the same colour.
I hope you like these and have a go! Have a great weekend!
