Hi everyone! I want to make a Sunflower cake and cupcakes for a gathering I am having this weekend.
I am going to use the leaf tip for the yellow petals and the grass tip for the brown center (sorry I don't know all the tip numbers off hand). It looks like the yellow petal start from the outside and work their way in. If anyone has done one of these cakes can you please give me so tip.

Thanks!

I have a cupcake book that has a sunflower cupcake in it and she uses chocolate sprinkles for the center of the sunflower. It looks really cute and it's less work. icon_wink.gif If you're doing a large surface on the main cake I probably wouldn't use the sprinkles (depends on whether you like to eat them or not) but who says you have to do them the same? Good luck.

You could consider using fondant to make the petals of the cake. Cut out The petals and layer them. Then use beads or icing for the center or chocolate chips or a combination of both.

I did cookies so it would be the same process. I used leaf tip and star tip for the inside.

You would use a large leaf tip and start in the center and work your way out.. I don't know how big you will need it, but tip #366 would probably give you a nice large 'petal'. I'd make a nice large center with a round tip.. start in the middle and go around and coil it until it's as big as you need it to be. Use the leaf tip to make two layerers petals on the outer edge then use your grass tip to go over the circle you made for the center to give it texture.. that's how I'd do it any way.. thumbs_up.gif

I used mini chocolate chips for my centers. Easy to do, just use a little spoon and poor them on after you've completed the petals.

I did one too. I realized after it was done that the centers needed to be larger, but maybe it will give you some ideas.

I have some sunflower cupcakes in my photos. I used the leaf tip for petals and sprinkles for the center, but the grass tip should work well.
