vintage chic

This design has been inspired by one of my favourite fabric designers,

Cath Kidston, who specializes in creating very pretty vintage floral prints.

you will need

dome-shaped cupcakes baked in silver foil cases

apricot masking jam

green fondant icing

white sugarpaste

paste food colours: pink, claret, green

very soft-peak royal icing

large six-petal blossom cutter or cookie cutter

edible glue

rose embosser

small piping (pastry) bag and tube (tip) no. 0

1 Boil the apricot masking jam and brush a thin layer on to the cupcakes. Chill

the cupcakes in the refrigerator until they are firm.

2 Dip the cupcakes in the prepared different-coloured fondant icings.

3 Roll out the white sugarpaste fairly thinly and cut out the large blossom

shape, sticking it on to the centre of the cupcake with a tiny amount of edible

glue. Very lightly press the embosser into the sugarpaste to make the basic

outline of the rose.

4 Dilute some of the pink and claret paste colours with some water and

start to paint the rose. Water down some green food colour and apply it in

the same way to paint in the leaves. You will need to paint in extra leaves

without an outline as a guide around the top of the rose.

5 Finish the cupcake by piping little dots around the blossom with white royal icing using a piping (pastry) bag with a no. 0 tube (tip).

By using different

paste strengths or

colours you can

make the rose look

more realistic
