Sunflower Cupcakes

I made these one day for fun. It was a while ago so if I made them again today, they would look a lot better than the picture to the right. This photo was taken before I was a very skilled baker :-) about a year or two ago. Also, the photo quality isn't so great. The photo at the bottom of this post is one off the internet. They were really fun to make! All you have to do was make the cupcakes (just how you normally would). Then, you put a thin layer of green frosting on top of the cupcake and stick an Oreo (normal size) on the top of the frosting. You can stick it to the cupcake with frosting. After that, you can use a frosting bag (or a Ziploc bag with a hole cut in one bottom corner) with vanilla frosting (dyed yellow) in it to create the petals around the Oreo. Finally, you do the same thing, except with green frosting to make a leave on the side of your flower. You can get the right shades of yellow and green using food dye. For more skilled bakers, you can even put a lady bug on top. You use a red m&m and draw details with black frosting.
