I made these cupcakes for Ivy who was bringing them to a farewell party for a friend. She wanted something elegant with a variety of flavors but only needed two dozen cupcakes. I suggested her ordering two different kinds of cupcakes and toppings, and then interchange them. So she requested chocolate/ chocolate, vanilla/ chocolate, vanilla/ vanilla, and chocolate/ vanilla.
She didn't ask for any decorations, but I wanted something small and pretty for the cupcakes. She said flowers and colored sugar was okay. So I made white flowers out of fondant and painted one set light pink and the other dusted with gold powder.
The vanilla frosting had the golden flowers sprinkled with clear crystal sugar.
The chocolate ones had the pink tinted flowers with silver dragees.
Ivy has written back and said the cupcakes were a hit at the party. Thanks, Ivy!
