Sunflower Cupcakes

I got this idea also from Alan Richardson's "Hello Cupcake!" book, which I highly recommend! The sunflowers are regular size and Mini size Oreos, piped with yellow and orange buttercream petals. The cupcakes are iced in a base color green. I liked the gold liners for fall. The ladybugs are just red M & Ms with little black piping details. This is one of my very favorite cake designs I've done so far. It works great on a round or sheet cake, too!
