You will want to take a closer look at the amazing detail on these Delicious Succulent Cactus Cupcakes! Alana Jones-Mann from the site with the same name is the creator of these stunning cactus cupcakes. She was asked to make the cupcake recipe and lovely decorated designs for a wedding in Palm Springs, California. She flew into town two days before the wedding so that she could get everything baked and prepped in San Diego and then she drove up to the wedding venue the morning of the wedding with her adorable desert desserts. The bride wanted a semi-naked gluten-free vanilla cake recipe with just a touch of decorative embellishment, which made things easy for Alana as she prefers that style of wedding cake over more elaborate designs. The fact that its gluten free made it even better! She enjoys doing simple cake designs with just a touch of florals and for me since that is my preference as well when it comes to this style of wedding cake (aside from gluten free! ;) ). I find that simply is best with naked cakes, just a touch of florals and greenery. The attention to detail on this adorable cupcake and cake recipe is truly inspiring, and will have you looking at cactus' a whole new way; the different tones of green and soft pink, with candy sand, underneath look almost too good to eat!

Typically a cupcake recipe uses the same standard ingredients as does a cake recipe. Ingredients like butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Most any cake recipe that works for a layer cake can be used to bake cupcakes. The cake batter recipe used for cupcakes can be flavored or have other ingredients stirred in, ingredients such as berries, chocolate chips or chocolate chips. Becuase a cupcake is smaller in size it is more efficient for heat conduction, which makes them bake much quicker than a normal layered cake. Cupcakes can be topped with frosting or other cake decorations of your choice. Cupcakes can be filled with frosting, pastry cream, whipped cream or fruit. Some bakers will insert a pastry bag into the middle of a cupcake to add fillings. You will also find decorated cupcakes made for special occasions.
