These cupcakes were made for a 60th birthday. They are fabulous, elegant, and classy! These are a great change from your typical birthday decorations. They could also be used for showers or weddings. These are made from rose petals, but there are a few types of flowers that are also edible. Your guests will think you went to a lot of trouble creating these cupcakes, but truthfully, they are easier than making rose petals from sugar or gum paste.
Recipe:
Yields 14 large cupcakes
2 eggs
1/2 cup water or milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1 French Vanilla cake mix
Toppings:
Buttercream Icing
Roses
Egg Whites
Sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix eggs, oil, water, sour cream, and the box mix. Pour into large cupcake papers.
3. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
4. Remove rose petals from stems and spread out flat onto a cutting board. Using a brush, coat the petals with egg whites and sprinkle sugar generously. Allow the petals to dry and harden for at least an hour.
5. Use your choice of buttercream icing to top cupcakes. Pipe icing using a 1M tip. Optional: Use a few drops of dye for colour.
6. Stick three petals into each cupcake (The rule of three: Everything looks better in design in groups of three!).
