Direction
Have your basic cupcakes ready.
As soon as the buttercream has been made and while it’s still soft, whisk in sufficient food paste colouring to give a bright yellow colour.
Spread a thin layer of yellow buttercream over the top of each cake. Press a round of the chocolate sprinkles or vermicelli in the centre.
Fill the piping bag, fitted with the petal tube, with the remainder of the yellow buttercream. Pipe a layer of petals around the outside of the cakes, then pipe another row a little way in, to give a double row of petals on each cake.
