Please Do Eat the Daisy

WomansDay.com recently published a Periodic Table of Cupcakes featuring 46 creatively decorated cupcakes. When first looking at them I thought they were too pretty to eat. But then, alas, I succumbed to the realization that if one of the cupcakes was placed before me I would eat it with delight!

Let’s look at a few of the cupcakes and discover how we will partake in these tasty delights.

The Peach Melba looks oh so scrumptious topped with peach slices and whipped cream drizzled with raspberry sauce. This one definitely needs a fork to capture each savory bite. To add an extra touch to display the Peach Melba work of art, I suggest serving the cupcake without the cupcake liner and swirl more raspberry sauce on the plate. Yes, lovely.

The Rose Petal cupcake is the true eat-with-your-hands cupcake. And did you know those are real rose petals for the decoration? Some flowers are edible so go ahead and take a taste if you choose.

Now the Daisies and Bees cupcake shows a baker’s love of the craft. Just look at the gumdrop flowers and the M&M bees. Do you dare eat the daisy? Certainly you can! Simply remove the sweets from the cupcake with your fingers and either take a candy bite now or after the delight of the luscious cupcake. Have fun and enjoy!
