How to Make Easy Daisy Cupcakes!

• Lynsey Macdonald

Florals never go out of style, and we're particularly partial to a cute, kitschy daisy design ourselves! With that in mind, this month's Bake With project incorporates just that. And the best part? This might be our easiest tutorial yet! To make these easy daisy cupcakes, you only need a handful of basic tools and ingredients.

So, if you're considering dipping your toe in the cake making pond and need a simple but effective place to start, we've got you covered. Or, if you're a regular baker looking for a new addition to your repertoire, we reckon these will be a hit! Perfect for a spring or summer party, or for any daisy or floral themed event throughout the year, these will become your go to.

New to our Bake with series? Welcome! In each edition of this blog series, we share a tutorial with our community based on a seasonal theme or trend. We've covered so many exciting projects, creating treats for any event in your calendar.

Cupcakes are one of those bakes that is always a crowd pleaser. A good sponge, some delicious frosting, what's not to love?! So finding ways to level up this classic treat is something our resident baker Holly loves to do - and these daisy cupcakes are one of our favourite designs!

So, let's explore what you'll need and how to make them.

More of a visual learner than a reader? We've got you! We always film these tutorials. You can view this edition here on our YouTube channel, or in the embedded video at the end of this post!

Tutorial - Easy Daisy Cupcakes

Step 1: Take your FunCakes Vanilla Cupcake Mix (or your own recipe) and make up your cupcake batter. If you're using the FunCakes mix, you'll add eggs and butter, and bake as instructed.

Step 2: Take your baked cupcakes out of the oven and leave to the side to cool before you begin decorating.

Step 3: Make up your Enchanted Cream (or other chosen frosting!). If you're using the Enchanted Cream, mix with water and milk as instructed on the packaging to create your delicious frosting!

Step 4: Pop a 1A piping nozzle into a piping bag with the end snipped off and add your frosting to the bag.

Step 5: Begin by piping one petal shape, starting at the outside of the cupcake and pulling in towards the middle (and back out again for a thicker petal if desired!). Repeat this process five times to create five daisy petals!

Step 6: Add a small amount (be cautious, these colours are concentrated!) of yellow colouring to your remaining Enchanted Cream. Stir thoroughly and add more if needed to achieve your desired shade!

Step 7: Using your 1A nozzle again, pipe a circle of yellow frosting in the middle to form the centre of the flower.

Step 8: Finally, place your beautiful daisy cupcakes into your colourful window lid cupcake box. They're now safe to be transported and ready to be presented in style.

And we're done!

These dazzling daisy cupcakes are such a perfect spring or summer treat! As with many of our projects, they're a great activity for the family to try together and we're sure they'll be a smash hit with anyone you gift them to!
