Playing with your food




With Spring at our doorstep, it's the perfect time for flowers to pop up everywhere, even in the kitchen! Did you know that terra cotta is perfectly safe to bake in? Just wash it, and make sure it's still slightly damp, and you have a perfect starter for these flower cupcakes. Placing a small piece of parchment paper in the hole at the bottom of the pot will assure your "soil" doesn't leak, and placing your pots in a muffin tin keeps them from tipping over in your oven as you put them in or take them out. I picked up some Easter candies for the petals and center, then added butterfly picks that I found at the local craft store. My boys took these to Mother's Day Out in a wicker basket to celebrate the coming of Spring.
