The perfect union of beautiful blooms, butter-cream and buns, this is the mother of all Mother’s Day gifts. Turn up on her doorstep armed with a box of them wrapped in ribbon, and you will not disappoint.
And you don’t have to restrict yourself to cupcakes. If you’re planning to invite Mum over for a celebratory afternoon tea, these floral toppers would make the perfect showstopper in a larger centrepiece cake.
What you’ll need:
- Sponge
- Skewers
- Scissors
- Fresh flowers*
Best blooms…
The great news is, with spring on its way, you have the pick of the early spring blooms at your fingertips. Anenomes, bluebells, daffodils, forget-me-nots, freesias, hyacinths, iris, lisianthus, ranunculus, sweetpeas, tulips, violets… opt for mum’s favourite flowers or choose a variety of blooms in her favourite hue.
