These cupcakes are delicious and very easy to make. The technique for making the flowers is described in the Cappuccino Cupcake instructable here : https://www.instructables.com/id/Cappuccino-Cupcakes/

Step 1: Making the Cupcakes

You will need:
-Chocolate cake mix
-1/3 cup oil
-3 eggs
-3/4 cup coffee
-1/2 cup water
-cupcake liners
-muffin pan

Mix ingredients together. Place cupcake liners in each of the muffin pan cups. Fill the liners 2/3 full. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until done.

Step 2: Making the Flowers

To create the flowers:

Take some of the fondant and use food color gel and mix well. Roll fondant thin and cut with small cookie cutters. You can make any shape you want, I chose to make flowers. The middle of the flowers is edible pearls. I used gumpaste glue to add the pearls.

*You can create the fondant like in the cappuccino cupcake instructable.
