Wild Blackberry & Orange Cupcakes
For my daughter's fairy garden-themed party, I made one of the activities decorating some cupcakes. I bought powdered foods (beetroot, turmeric, spinach, and spirulina) to color the icing because I much prefer the softer, natural colors to normal food coloring. I think they ended up looking super cute!
She had so much fun decorating with me, her aunts, and my cousin. I also baked her a little heart cake that she could go wild decorating, and her love for red currants definitely shone through in her design. I made the muffins and cake the day before and then made the frosting right before we started decorating. Some toppings aside from the icing: edible wafer flowers, more blackberries, red currants, dried rose petals, dried lavender, and some little culinary gold flakes.
Definitely a really fun activity, and I will try to do this again for her next party! The cleanup was worth it.
