Dotty about gerberas!!

These are some cupcakes I displayed at Lakeview Manor (21st March) and The Lavender House Hotel (28th March). I baked vanilla cupcakes in plain cases and filled half with red flood icing and half with white flood icing. While they were still wet, I piped red polka dots on the white and white polka dots on the red. I like the effect this gave, but looking at them now, you can't really see many of the dots, I have to think about that. I made the gerberas using red/white flower paste and a large PME daisy cutter. I shaped the petals, added a yellow centre and left them to dry. Later I attached them to the cakes with a little flood icing.
I love the way they look on my polka dot cake stand.

Speak to you tomorrow,
