Cupcakes With Earl

We are in Ocean City and since Hurricane Earl was predicted to put a damper on at least one day of our vacation I brought some baking essentials with me!

I had seen some photos of rose inspired cupcakes and decided to give them a try. Since we met my Mother here in Ocean City, I decided on making chocolate cupcakes since she loves chocolate!

This project was actually really fun. I bought the pretty green pot on sale for $4 and a round foam ball at my favorite store (Ben Franklin Crafts). I covered the foam with black tissue paper and secured it inside the pot. After I made the cupcakes I used toothpicks to anchor them into the foam to create the bouquet look!

And, here they are!...
