My friend Rachel is getting married in a few weeks and her bridal shower was last night. I wanted to make her an elaborate cake with the wedding colors but she is not having bridesmaids!! She told me her flowers were going to be sunflowers so I instantly knew sunflower cupcakes were in order!! They were surprisingly easy to do and she loved them!! Everyone was scared to eat them so I had my sister take the first one to get the party started. haha. Enjoy!
Field of sunflowers!
Chocolate Cherry Coke Hi-Hats (from The Busty Baker)
The finished product
As soon as I saw these beautiful little cupcakes, I knew I HAD to bake them! They were so delicious and a huge hit! I agree with the Busty Baker though, they are not picnic cupcakes. They need to stay cold or else things start to droop and melt all over!
The chocolate cake is very moist with just a hint of the cherry cola flavoring. There is a hint of the red coloring from the cherry juice and pop color, which makes it a lovely shade of dark reddish brown. Maybe I need to bring one in to my hairdresser and tell her to give me that color!
The meringue frosting is absolutely delicious, very marshmallow-y with a nice pink color and cherry flavor. It held up well to the dipping.
My camera that was used for the in process pics does not do the frosting color justice. Its really a pretty shade of pink but the lighting/cheap camera didn’t mix well.
