Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

- Pipe the frosting: Use a piping bag with a star tip to create delicate swirls on top of each cupcake.
- Decorate: Gently place fresh edible flowers on top for a natural, rustic finish.
Notes
- Choose safe, edible flowers such as pansies, violets, nasturtiums, or chamomile.
- For a more earthy, rustic touch, use rosemary sprigs or thyme as decoration.
- If making in advance, add flowers just before serving to keep them fresh.
- Pair with a honey or lemon buttercream for a unique flavor.
