I wanted to make decorated cup cakes, and went through a lot of trial and error. I tried drawing ribbons, flowers, and butterflies, and failed. But, I was still able to make such pretty flowers!

Prepare 2 chocolate pens per cupcake just in case. You actually use about 1.5 pens per cupcake. Don't get neurotic about the flower petals - make them randomly, and just place them randomly too! Recipe by Asamato

Steps

1

Melt the chocolate pens in hot water, and draw small and large petal shapes on top of a cooking sheet. They will harden right away, but it is easier to put them in the fridge.
2

Cover the top of the cupcake with whipped cream, and stick in the flower petals.
3

Even if you make this for a bento, you can make it as cute as this! Even a little kid could probably do this.
4

If you sprinkle silver dragées in between the petals, they will look like drops of morning dew.
5

I made a marigold with orange and yellow petals.
6

These are the cupcakes and whipped cream I used this time. After using the cream, you can store it in the fridge and use it conveniently a bit at a time.
7

Spread out the cream a bit thickly. This will make it easier to stick the petals in, and it will cushion them.
8

"Soft-type" chocolate pens that stay soft will not harden properly, so please be careful.
