Flower Cupcake Cake

It has definitely been a week of birthday celebrations. A good friend of mine had a birthday today. This is the cake we came up with for her... 

I started by arranging 20 cupcakes on a large baking pan covered with tinfoil. 

Then I did a swirl design with purple frosting for the flower petals. Her favorite color is purple, so we did the flowers in purple. Then I swirled chocolate frosting for the center of each flower. I cut up little pieces of white chocolate for the middle as well. Then we added green frosting for the stem and leaves.
