How to Make Cute Daisy Cupcakes with Video

“Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?” That is a line from one of my favorite movies. Can you guess what movie because I think you can? So I was thinking, if daisies are the friendliest flower, then daisy cupcakes must be the friendliest cupcakes on earth.

  • Begin by making a batch of your favorite cupcakes. You can use your favorite box mix or make it from scratch.
  • Then, you need to make some buttercream frosting and make some yellow and some brown so you’ll have everything you need to make the base of the cupcake and the daisy.
  • Using the #1A decorating tip and pipe some dots on a piece of wax or parchment paper. You’ll need one per cupcakes so you can add them as the center of the daisy.
  • As you pipe the dots (I only did one or three at a time) cover them with the black nonpareils. For some reason, my frosting didn’t want to be covered with them so I placed a small cookie cutter over each one and then covered them with the nonpareils. I don’t know why but this seemed to work.
  • Place the dots in the freezer.

  • Cover each of the cupcakes with the brown buttercream frosting so you’ll have a nice base for the daisy. I used a rose tip so I wouldn’t over frost them, but you can use an offset spatula if you prefer.

  • Cover the entire cupcake.

  • Next, smooth the frosting with an offset spatula. Try to get the surface as flat as possible.

  • Once the cupcakes are frosted, place the wide end of the #126 decorating tip at the edge of the cupcake with the small end pointed at the center.
  • Apply pressure while you squeeze the tip toward the center of the cupcake.
  • Release pressure and continue to pull the tip through the flower petal you just piped so it’ll look like a daisy petal.
  • End with a quick jerk.

  • Now you have a cute daisy cupcake.

I told you they were simple.

When I made the daisy flower on the cupcake in the video, I didn’t use enough frosting so be sure not to follow my mistake. Make your daisy petals nice and full so they’ll look like the real thing.
