Thank you, Shannon. I have an Ateco kit with many metal piping tips, and I think I used the tip you’d usually use to create leaves. Start in the center of the cupcake and work your way to the base making concentric circles. Then shake sugar dyed by rubbing a drop or two of color into it over the top while turning the cupcake.

Your cupcake is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. How do you pipe the frosting in this manner?
Thanks for sharing the idea of using flower tea to flavour the cakes. Flower tea such as rose and lavender are very common in asia, will experiment with that next time i bake.

Oh, Lizzi, you are sweet. I have been building a 20′ x 8′ hen house. Finished painting the outside today. Need to construct a roof, paint the inside, and haul in another 600 pounds of pea gravel. Then I am DONE! Baked another batch of Jacques Torres’ amazing chocolate chip cookies this afternoon and will post soon. xo

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you need to write a new post?

Hint: it starts with ‘t’ and ends in ‘en’.

Sadly I missed my spring violets this year, they were just peeping up when I left our home in WI in early May, and had already sprung and almost withered at our home in N. New Jersey….but I’ve been able to track down some on Amazon along with a violet syrup I’m really excited to try in cold milk as I also do with rose syrup I get at my husband’s ethnicity’s local Indian grocer. Ever try a rose yogurt lassi?
