for the bird

7 Start by rolling a small marble-

sized ball of white flower paste and

shaping it into a cone shape for the

bird’s body. Roll a pea-sized ball for

the head and make a tiny triangular

piece for the beak. Attach in place

with some edible glue.

8 To make the wings and tail, cut

out teardrop shapes using the

cutters. You will need four small

teardrops and one slightly larger

one per bird. Stick two smaller

teardrops either side of the larger

one to make the bird’s tail. The

two remaining teardrops are for

the bird’s wings. Set the birds

aside for 30 minutes or so to dry.

9 Stick the birds on to the cupcakes

using a small amount of royal icing.

Cut some more teardrop shapes from

thinly rolled-out green flower paste

to form the leaves and attach them

to the cupcakes with the blossoms.

to finish

10 Use the small piping (pastry)

bag with a no. 1.5 tube (tip) and

white royal icing to pipe a snail trail border around the edge of the cupcakes.

Insert a cocktail

stick (toothpick) into

the underside of the

bird’s body so that

you can hold and build

it without damaging

it, then set in a cake

dummy to dry

The folded blossoms are so pretty and very simple to make.
