It seems as though I am constantly looking for new excuses to bake these days. What better reason to whip up a couple batches of cupcakes than the celebration of Easter? I took the opportunity to test out some spring flavors on my friends and family. Success! Nothing says Easter like coconut cream, apricot 'n honey, strawberry, and a bit of sugar. I hope my taste-testers had as much fun munching as I did decorating =) The hand-made flowers were crafted out of fondant and royal icing.

Love the coconut cream. Also, the royal icing daffodils are so cute!
What pretty cupcakes - a lovely blog. I am sure I'm going to get some great fondant decorating ideas.
