St George's Day Cupcakes

A decorative cupcake using red crosses on a white background for St George.

On the 23rd of April it is St George's Day. He is the Patron Saint of England. He is also the Patron Saint for Greece, Portugal and Russia. He is famous for fighting a dragon and artists have painted many pictures of this. I have based these cupcakes on the flag of Saint George which is a white background with a red cross.

The English football team have this as their flag. This is for the fans of the team.

This cupcake is for the English rugby team.

I like this cupcake without the flags it is rather abstract. I hope it gives you ideas for your own flag and saint.

A simple St Georges day cupcake decoration using red and white ready rolled icing.

I like this clean simple design which can be easily made for the day.

Again a simple cupcake design with piped red icing.

This design was made from red stick sweets cut to different lengths. It is rather like a basket weave design or a Mondrian painting.

A design using sweet sticks and a cherry. Simple but neat in design.

Shakespeare's birthday is also celebrated on this day in Stratford-on-Avon.
