Flower Cupcake

Take this cupcake step by step and you will be sure to have a beautiful outcome. Take your time and use a consitent technique all of the way around the cupcake. Flowers come in all shapes and colors so have fun.

Use a number 67 leaf tube and make a half circle scallop around the cupcake.

Use a half circle motion to create the green scallop. If you cant make this pattern the goal is to cover the edge of the cupcake with green icing to frame your flower. Use your imagination to make it happen.

Continue the border around the cupcake

The skinny point of the rose tip is pointing downward. This is the tip that you are going to use to make the pedals. I wanted to show you the angle at which to hold the tip when starting the pedals. Start close to the center of the cupcake and use up small loop motion holding the tube at an angle.

Use the 104 rose tip and start with the small narrow point of the tip closest to the cupcake and start from the center of the cupcake and use a back and forth motion to make the pedals.
 

Hold the tube with your palm facing up and the tip slanted to the side. Use the skinny part of the tip closest to the cupcake.

Practice the motion on the side before starting on the cupcake. Using almost a skinny loop motion to create the pedals.

Do another layer of pedals on the top of the first layer.

Using a number 7 round tip make a small dot in the center of the cupcake

Using a number 4 round tip make lines all around the dot in the middle of the cupcake. Use your imagination and go wild. You can use whatever pattern you want. Make it your own!!

using a number 4 round tip put highlights of yellow on top the gold for a nice contrast.

Using a number 4 round tip put orange dots in the center of cupcake

Use a round tip to make gold dots over the orange dots for a beautiful highlight to the center of the cupcake.

Beautiful job!!!
