Art you can eat? Yes, Please.

Cupcake week continues: Tuesday- Edible Art
Dainty flowers rest atop a fluffy butter cream frosting. Delectable delicacies almost to cute to eat. So charming and dainty, they could easily be confused for porcelain - it's sugar. Gum paste or royal icing to be exact and they are not just for wedding cakes any longer.

Gum paste flowers are an adorable way to bring whimsy and style to your events and they are popping up at all the trendiest kids events. Alone they are stunning, but arranged delicately in a beautiful tiered display and "voila," a confection fit for a princess ... or fairy.

You can find these confections at most any specialty bakery near you.
