I made these Pink Daisy Cupcakes “Petit Fours” for my niece’s baby shower. We went a little more modern with the colors. Instead of traditional pastel colors, we chose to do hot pink, black, and white. I call these cupcake Petit Fours because they are simply upside-down cupcakes with poured fondant icing. The flowers are … Read more
