A while ago, I came across these darling daisy cupcakes on Bakerella's blog, and was waiting for an oppurtunity to try them out. I love the cute things she does on her blog (you should check it out!) Bakerella certainly is an expert at doing cute things with candy melts, while I am not. I made these cupcakes today for my daughter's Daisy Girl Scouts, and what I thought would be a quick and easy project took me an hour! (Making the actual daisies. I made cupcakes first, which didn't take too long, and then I made my homemade frosting, which was super fast). I just don't think I have a knack for working with candy melts. I melted them in disposable piping bags, and the candy kept hardening and not coming out smoothly. I didn't have the cool squirt bottles like she has. I'll just blame it on that. In spite of myself, I was able to turn out some mostly-cute looking cupcakes. 
Dish, you did an AMAZING job. I'm sure they were loved by your daughter and her fellow scouts!
ReplyDeleteThose look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThese cupcakes are just adorable, I love those daisies on top. You are quite talented!
ReplyDeleteDishy, they are awesome! The candy melts would taste so much better than the gum paste or fondant. And the icing looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMan, those look difficult and they turned out great!
