Cupcake Crazy

Last week I had multiple events where I needed to bring in food. One of those days was our team's Spring Fling. Now, I know when I said Spring Fling, you thought dance. In a way, it's a dance but with food, which mainly involved ribs, chicken, and tons of barbecue and butter based side dishes. I love the South. Of course, I wanted to impress the team, so I baked some cupcakes and really put some time into it this time.

First, I couldn't decide what colors to mix with the icing... so I made a lot of them. I mixed the icing in cups, so they're easy to sort and cool as I'm working with them.

While I was sorting through my icing tips, I realized that I had one that makes petals!

 Gorgeous right? I added a bits of green, then placed the petals just so.. and Voila!

Here's a random sampling of some of the prettier mini-cupcakes!
