taken from quickandsimple.com
Ingredients
• 18 ¼-oz. box yellow cake mix (check package directions for additional needed ingredients) or your favorite yellow cake recipe
• 2 cans (16 oz. each) white frosting
• food coloring, assorted colors
Directions
①. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners. Prepare cake batter; spoon it evenly among muffin cups and bake according to package directions. Transfer to a wire rack and cool 5 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely.
②. Spoon 1½ cups of the frosting into a zip-top plastic bag and seal. Divide the remaining frosting into four separate small bowls. Tint each bowl of frosting to desired pastel colors with food coloring (make one yellow). Spoon ½ cup yellow frosting into a zip-top plastic bag and seal.
③. Cover each cupcake with one shade of tinted frosting.
④. Using scissors, snip a ¼-inch corner from the bag holding the white frosting and a 1/8-inch corner from the bag holding the yellow frosting.
⑤. Pipe a 1-inch circle of yellow frosting onto the center of each cupcake. Pipe petals with the white frosting, starting at the yellow circle and pulling outward. Continue around yellow center to create flower petals. Repeat with the remaining cupcakes.
