Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with hydrangea flowers.

I will usually pick some up weekly at Trader Joe’s and arrange them on our coffee table. I think they’re pretty and elegant without requiring serious flower arranging (a skill I have NOT yet mastered).
Like all things in my world, I had to figure out how to take this obsession and make a sweet edible version! I’m just loving these hydrangea cupcakes because they’re so simple and quick to decorate, but look positively gourmet. Plus you don’t really need any hard-to-find tools or equipment. You might already have what you need if your kitchen is well stocked!

Besides using a star piping tip, the other trick to making these cupcakes look like hydrangeas is to get creative with the colors. For the gorgeous purple and blue hydrangea cupcakes I used the third method from this post about how to make swirled cupcake frosting.
I basically just spooned purple frosting into one half of my piping bag, then blue into the other half. Then I kind of squeezed them together so they blurred a little to give a more natural look. Easy!
