Materials
Baked cupcakes baked in a
thick paper wrapper
- I found that using thick paper wrappers that are almost like gift box thickness
fun flower cupcake wrappers
- I found some fun petal-shaped cupcake wrappers that are perfect for this food craft
Frosting - flower colors like pink, white, or yellow
You might have to mix white frosting with food coloring to achieve the right color.
M&Ms for the center
Paper straws
Instructions
Bake your cupcakes in thick paper wrappers. If you can't find thick wrappers then you might be able to double up on normal wrappers
Once the cupcakes have cooled off, decorate the cupcake with a colorful frosting
add a little candy for the center of the flower.
Cut a little hole in the wrapper at the bottom of the cupcake
Cut a hole in the flower wrapper to match up
Push the straw through the flower cupcake and add some frosting around the straw
Push it up into the bottom of the cupcake going through the hole you made earlier
If the malt straw isn't staying, try adding a little frosting as glue
