Mini Flower Cup Cakes

Don't these look cute? I just love how they look and they taste pretty good too! Pre-mixed cakes are easy and convenient but I find that it always taste better when you spruce it up with something else. In this case, I like to brush my cakes with Grand Marnier or Kahlua or Cream Sherry before giving them a dusting of icing sugar or a coat of butter icing. Then to make them pretty, my favourite way is to use royal icing flowers that I made myself earlier. These royal icing flowers are hard and can keep for a very long time. If I'm out of these, I'll just pump flowers out of butter icing. Here are what my cup cakes looked like before they got decorated.
