Making the fondant flowers
Knead the different colours of fondant until smooth and roll them out very thinly. Cut out a variety of flowers using the cutters and use the veiners to add texture. For the leaves, cut small pointed ovals from the green fondant and use a knife to add lines so they look like real lives.
Roll small balls of fondant, lightly coat them with edible glue and then roll some of them through the FunCakes Nonpareils Yellow and others through FunCakes Nonpareils Orange. These will be the centres of some of the flowers. Dust the yellow and orange flowers with FunCakes Colour Dust Pumpkin Orange to add a touch of colour. Leave the flowers and leaves to dry on crumpled kitchen for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Baking the cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C).
Prepare 500 g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes as indicated on the packaging. Place the baking cups into the muffin tray and fill them up to two thirds with batter. Bake the cupcakes for approximately 18-22 minutes until fully baked. Allow them to cool completely.
Decorating the cupcakes
Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Enchanted Cream® as indicated on the packaging. Put this in a decorating bag with #1H and pipe round swirls onto the cupcakes. Place the fondant flowers on the swirls to finish the cupcakes.
