Make all kinds of flowers like, roses, rosettes, pansies, daisies, apple blossoms, etc. Do you need some extra help? Check out our How to make buttercream flowers blog! We’ll guide you step by step through every flower.
Make the small buttercream flowers a day in advance and put them in the freezer. This way they are easier to apply on the cupcakes. The big rose cupcakes you just make on the day itself, you can’t swirl this in advance, this must be swirled directly on the cupcakes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C) and divide the baking cups between the muffin pan.
Prepare 500 g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the package and divide the batter among the baking cups using the ice cream scoop. Bake the cupcakes in about 18-22 golden yellow and let them cool from the mold on the countertop.
Using a palette knife, spread the top of the cupcakes with a thin layer of green buttercream, put the rest in a decorating bag with coupler and decorating tip #352.
Using a small spatula or knife, carefully place the frozen buttercream flowers on the cupcakes. Swirl some leaves between any gaps that may have formed.
