Blue Hydrangea Cupcakes For Summer

I intend it is together with thus fabulous to travel able to brand something out of nothing. I dearest that alongside a few elementary ingredients (hello, cake mix!) together with tools, it is possible to brand something actually beautiful. These hydrangea cupcakes are a neat example of making something actually pretty out of nothing.


I've wanted to endeavor these cupcakes for a long time. I dearest when the hydrangea are turning from vivid bluish to a deep blue, majestic alongside touches of green. They are only amazing. I convey a real generous vecino that invited me to cutting blooms from her bushes whenever I wanted... obviously, she didn't know what she was saying! Though tempting, I've solely borrowed this 1 fourth dimension to role every bit a centerpiece to instruct along alongside these cupcakes.

I used a box cake mix for the cupcakes - no shame. To fix off the color of the bluish "hydrangea" I used these Brown Cupcake Papers They are taller than criterion cupcake papers, but even together with thus check into a criterion 2" cupcake pan. They brand a bigger cupcake, which is prissy when you lot role this much frosting.

Here is a link to the frosting recipe I use.

 Fit the pipage handbag alongside a Jumbo Star Tip (I used these disposable bags (100 bags for $14) to brand build clean upward easy).

To instruct the variegated blue/purple look,  I made the bluish color first, fix one-half of it aside...

Then mixed inwards a petty carmine to brand the majestic color.  There is solely a slight difference, making them expect to a greater extent than realistic.  Can you lot run into the streaks of purple?  It only form of naturally happens when you lot position both colors inwards together.  I role a pocket-size spoon to assistance instruct it into each side of the bag.  You don't convey to practice it perfectly, only a petty chip of each color makes them expect great.

I'm trying a novel matter - video!  Here is a petty technique video to present you lot how I brand them expect every bit existent every bit possible.  What practice you lot think?  Do you lot desire me to practice to a greater extent than videos?

I served these for my sister's birthday, together with thus I used Celebration Candles inwards Seaside.
