Funky flower cupcakes

Its my birthday today so i thought id post some of the cheerful cupcakes i made for my sister

oh Clare so happy you returned to us! so here are some welcome back cupcakes for you to devour!
made using the black magic cake recipe i always seem to be using nowadays.. maybe i should try make it betterer hmm..
careful only to fill the cupcake cases half fill with batter because this rises Quite a lot. and butter-cream icing and my awesome new gel food coloring's that i got myself as a treat for the Italian days ahead, Rome is a vast cake decorating desert
so, i used buttercream icing and gel food colouring. using this icing tip and messing around a bit with different icing colours and patterns, these cupcakes are the result. also, if you can get your hands on a potters wheel or some similar apparatus that spins, it would be very useful because i find i need both hands on the icing bag, one to steady, one to squeeze!

this icing effect can also be used as a skirt kind of thing for a doll cupcake or ballerina, a plan is forming in my brain..

also a frangipani flower can work with petals like this.. another plan forms
clare, my darling beloved little sister, if the distance between us was measured in cupcakes , i would get incredibly fat or die trying x
