Crystallized Flowers Cupcake

These are the crystallized flowers I made in the Spring with very small violets being used that I grew in my garden. They have kept really well and I thought that they looked very good on top of these cupcakes. They are a plain vanilla cupcake recipe with some glace cherries added to the mixture. I have topped them off with a vanilla butter cream and the placed the crystallized violets on top. I think they look really special. I expect the borage flowers and the nasturtian flowers could be crystallized in the same way. They kept perfectly in an air tight tin. I used gold cup cake cases. I really like all the metallic cupcake cases that come in some rich colours and make the cupcakes look very special. I would think these would be superb for a wedding cupcake recipe and decoration. I think plates that you display the cupcakes on are very important. These are brass plates which give an Asian or Indian feel to the cupcakes. It would be good to make cupcakes with Indian spices .
