How to decorate a fantasy flower

Start with desired amount of plain vanilla cupcakes

Start with a handful of white moulding icing placed on a board covered in corn flour (for non-sticking purposes)

Add 4-5 drops of yellow food dye to icing

Mix in so the color is a solid yellow

Roll out with a rolling pin (or sauce bottle) until less than half a cm thick

Cut out petals user the medium sized cutters

Cut them in half

Set them aside to harden whilst continuing with step 9

Add green food dye to another handful of moulding icing and mix in until you get a solid color you are happy with

Use small leaf cutters to cut out leaves

Continue cutting until you have the desired amount you will need (I used 2)

Set them aside to dry. Take a sharp knife and make the pattern in the leaf

Add blue food dye to a handful of moulding icing

Mix in well until you get a solid blue

Use small flower cutter to cut out flowers

Continue to cut more, then set aside to harden

Do the same as step 15 but with white moulding icing

Set aside to harden

Pour royal piping icing into a bowl and add small amounts of water accordingly until you get a slightly thick consistency. Add drops of black food colouring and mix well

Pipe around the edge of the cupcake with a star novel

Stick on bigger yellow petals and continue until the circumference is full

Pipe dots in between the big petals

Stick on smaller petals. Continuing until finished

Pipe the centre of the cupcake with a small star shaped pipe until full (pipe as above)

On another cupcake, follow step 19 and add pink food colouring instead of black. Pipe using a bigger star nozzle and pipe around and up until the icing comes to a point like seen above

Add two leaves, made earlier

Add the blue and white flowers that you have previously made

Present on a plate and enjoy!!!!
