Method

1. Knead the fondant icing with some pink food coloring.



2. Dust a work surface with sieved icing sugar to prevent the fondant paste from sticking and roll out thinly.



3. Use the cookie cutter to cut out round shapes of fondant icing and place on top of the vanilla cupcakes that have been thinly coated with the apricot jam.



4. Knead some white fondant icing until smooth a pliable.



5. Roll out walnut sized pieces of paste until very thin.



6. Use the daisy cutter and firmly press on the paste and cut out the shape. Carefully lift with a palette knife and lay into the wells of a painter’s palette which has been dusted with icing sugar.



7. Gently push down the centers with the end of a rolling pin.



8. Mix a small amount of fondant icing with yellow food coloring and shape into small balls (for the flower centers). Using the artist brush, lightly brush the balls with water and then dip in caster sugar.



9. Stick the balls in the centers of the daisies with a little water. Leave overnight to dry.



10. Mix a little fondant icing with green food coloring and roll thinly and cut out two or three leaves for each flower using the leaf cutter. Leave overnight to dry.



11. Pipe a small amount of royal icing in the center of each cupcake and stick a daisy on it and the leaves.
