It appears the peony is blooming from the cupcake
So many of you have asked if it was possible to create a sugar peony for a cupcake. I thought why not… As I have proclaimed in the past, cake decorating is not limited to cakes; you can use the same method for your cookie art and cupcake art. I designed three separate peonies methods for these cupcakes and just for fun I flavored them with edible dried peony petals . The peony cupcake in the front contains individual petals that I veined and frilled. The middle peony cupcake has individual petals that have been lightly veined, but not frilled (less time consuming). Finally the back peony cupcake has a brushed embroidered peony making this one the fastest cupcake to construct. All of them are lovely and will impress the recipient.
