Cupcakes For Katy

I wanted to make something really cute for our friend Katy’s birthday and have been wanting to learn how to make sugar flowers for ages. So I bought some flower paste and followed the instructions in this year’s Great British Bake Off Book. It took a bit of practice but now my efforts resemble roses. I let them dry out for a few days and then used them to decorate these vanilla cupcakes. The frosting is raspberry flavoured and I made it by adding a couple of spoons of seedless raspberry jam to this frosting recipe. I finished the cupcakes with some edible glitter to give them some birthday sparkle!
