1
Brush the cakes with the syrup or alcohol, or add a thin layer of buttercream or ganache to help the sugarpaste stick to the cakes.

2
Knead the sugarpaste to warm, then roll it out between the spacers.

3
Cut circles from the sugarpaste using an appropriate cutter, but leave them on your work board.

4
Emboss each circle with the pattern of your choice, using the embossers from the fantasy flower.

5
Thinly roll out the black modelling paste and cut narrow strips using the craft knife, and small circles using the suggested piping tubes and attach as desired to the cupcakes.

6
Attach one large and one small flower to the cupcakes using water or sugar glue.

7
Dilute the green paste colour and paint over the centres of each flower to create depth.

The height of elegance and style, these cupcakes are perfect for that fashion-conscious girl about town.
