Flower Cupcakes

These cupcakes were my son's birthday traits for his classmates and teachers. He brought it to the school the day after his birthday. 

Making buttercream icing roses as a decorating for cakes or cupcakes is not that difficult. You must be creative, in my case as a beginner I made a lot of bobos, what I mean is that I made mistakes every time sometimes I forgot to turn the nail and sometimes the foundation of the rose is not high to achieve a nice looking rose.

I enjoyed every moment of doing decorating cupcakes. This hobby became one of my stress reliever.

I also tried to make flowers from Royal Icing for another batch of cupcakes I baked that day.

I made these flowers three days in advance prior for decorating in order to achieve the desired hardness of the flower.

What I like making cupcake flowers with the Royal Icing is that I can prepare it in advance like the gum-paste. It is very easy to put it on the cake, I can transport with no problem and just decorate it on the cake on site. The only thing that needs to consider is extra careful not to break during transport.

I found it is more easier to decorate cupcakes than cakes maybe because the cupcakes are smaller than the cake. However, they are both the same in terms of applying creativity and patience.
