Coming right around the corner is the day to celebrate the most important person in the world . . . our MOM’S!!<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0My mom is a pretty amazing lady, and I have big things planned for her \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Since she got her new iPad (so jealous) I think she might actually keep tabs on me, and read my blog, so I better not let anything out! \u00a0She has Facebook now too. \u00a0So with the times my mom is!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We created a series of videos for simple-DYI decorations for making a sweet treat for your mom on Mother’s Day. \u00a0 You can follow any of our videos on making cakes from scratch, or of course, you can use a box mix (life is BUSY people and there is nothing wrong with box mixes . . . it’s the thought that counts, right?) Besides, your Mom, Grandma, Aunt, BFF, will love these as they are so cute.<\/p>\n

These cupcakes are topped with piped green grass, using Wilton Tip 233, and then are topped with fondant flowers and fondant butterflies! \u00a0They are perfect for a beautiful day, with a beautiful lady, in the lovely spring. \u00a0Awwh, can you tell I love my mom? \u00a0Maybe, I do hope she’s reading this! \u00a0<\/p>\n

In our video series, first up is “Fondant Cupcake Flower: How To”<\/strong><\/span> and in this video, I show you how to make these pretty fondant flowers. \u00a0You can use any colour and make them customized for your mom! \u00a0All you will need are your fondant colours, and simple flower cut-out shapes, and a small circle for the centre. \u00a0<\/p>\n
