Cupcakes!



The other day I was making random designs of flowers on cupcakes with my friend and came up with some really cute ones. All you need is colored frosting and/or a bunch of different candies.

To make roses you have to lay a Laffy Taffy on a sheet of wax paper, put it in the microwave and turn it on for about eight seconds. Once it's done you can roll it out with a rolling pin and cut it into narrow, thin strips. Then you roll it up like you would roll a sleeping bag, and it looks like a little rose. For the petals you can do the same thing with a green Laffy Taffy, but cut out a couple triangles instead of rolling it to look like a rose, or you can cut sour punch straws into small ovals to make leaves.

For frosting flowers and leaves, color white frosting with different colored food coloring and use different tips to make the shapes of flowers and leaves. Candies like Sweet Tarts, Skittles, M&Ms, etc. are good for making petals and flowers, too.
