NATIONAL CUPCAKE WEEK
Friday's cupcake holds a secret...
Blueberry Curl Frosting
Under the delicate curls of frosting, lies the distinctive subtle flavour of blueberries.
Can you resist this last cupcake treasure of the week?
Ingredients:
* Polystyrene ball approx 6cm diameter.
(I used an egg shape cut in half)
* Glass headed pins
* 6mm Lilac Grosgrain HERE about 1mtr
*13mm Saddle Stitch Purple/White HERE about 1mtr
*13mm Saddle Stitch Orchid/White HERE about 1mtr
*Ric Rac Purple HERE about 1mtr
(note to chef - you can use any flavour ribbon from here, here and here)
*Cupcake cases
Instructions:
1. Pin saddle stitch ribbon around the base, or middle of the ball.
2. Continue pinning ribbon around the base.
3. Where the ribbon meets, fold the ribbon over to create a neat join and pin.
4. To make the ribbon curls, cut both saddle stitch ribbons, ric rac and grosgrain into 5.5cm lengths.
Fold the ribbon over to form a loop around your finger, overlapping the ribbon.
5. Place a pin in the centre of the loop.
6. Pin onto ball at the top.
6. Continue adding ribbon curls at different angles to each other.
7. Continue until the ball is covered.
I have to say I think this is my favourite, those ribbon curls are to die for.
