We are finally having some nice weather here in Maine and I’ve got Spring fever. Granted, Summer is just around the corner! These cupcakes just scream spring to me and I thought they’d be a lovely little Mother’s Day gift to myself. I’ve always loved hydrangeas and they haven’t bloomed here yet, but now I can look at the pretty cupcakes and then eat them!

I originally tried the frosting recipe that the source uses, but I just couldn’t get it to work so I went back to my trusted buttercream recipe. I found this easier to work with, although this time around I had to decorate these with a two year old attached to my leg pleading for a taste.

I used my go to chocolate cake recipe and my favorite vanilla butter cream. I then divided the batch of buttercream into two and dyed one half using Wilton’s Cornflower blue gel and the other Wilton’s Violet.

I used the 2D Wilton pastry bag tip. (I had never used this tip before and to be honest the closed tips are a bit more finicky) I placed each color into the piping bag as shown. I worked my way around the cupcake and then filled in the center with more drop flowers. There are set by step instructions on the source’s website. I think these came out pretty good. Definitely pretty and different from the normal swirl, that’s for sure! Brighten someone’s day with flowers and cupcakes all in one.

Now, for the last one million hits giveaway. Just a few years ago I would decorate a cupcake with a tub of frosting and a knife. I’d slather it on the top in a dome shape and call it good. Now, I cringe just thinking of doing that. I’m not saying I wouldn’t eat a cupcake like that, but I love pretty cupcakes and they are so easy to make.
