Piped Italian Butter Cookie Flowers Step by Step

Can't decide if you want a cookie OR a piece of cake? Now you can have BOTH! These chocolate cookie cupcake toppers are gilded in edible luster, and dressed with a dragee-infused stamen...hearkening the ancient skill of Granulation and paired with a Pavé gem arrangement built entirely of buttercream! Jewelry meets Cake in spectacular fashion ...
I modified @SophiaMyaCupcakes bombe-mold-for-cupcakes technique by pre-filling and chilling the mold, and then carving out the base of the icing to match the top of the cupcake...simply filling the mold to the top with icing, and then placing the cupcake on top, yields too much icing for my taste!

So stunning!😍

[@charrajf]

Thank you Lisa! I tried a new spin on the "silicone mold cupcake icing" method bc otherwise...there is just SO much icing! I know some ppl love that...but me...not as much :D

Thank you Jo! I realized too, it's got a tiny bit of St. Pat's vibe...my timing is impeccable! (But also tardy :) )

Спасибо! Потому что кто не хочет печенье на своем кексе? :D

[@debidehm9129]

Beautiful! How did you make the flowers? Do you have a recipe?

[@charrajf]

Thanks again, Debi! This recipe was posted to my Instagram Subscribers, but most readily-available Italian Butter Cookie recipes should work! Just make sure you pipe when the batter is still freshly mixed...as it sits it can begin to get a little shaggy on the edges!
