Banana Bread Flower Muffin Rosettes

http://eggcitingeaster.com/easy-easter-flower-banana-bread-muffins/

One of the easiest Fun Food creations I have recently made, is my Banana Bread Flower Muffins.  Not only are they are lovely muffins to set on any table, but they are quite delicious.  They are a guaranteed hit in my home since the recipe I used is my own banana bread recipe, which my entire family loves.

Any bread recipe could be used to make these muffins.  The secret to the beautiful design is in the baking mold.  Obviously, you will want to select a bread or muffin recipe that does not require icing which would distort the flower design.

I will be baking and freezing my Banana Bread Flower Muffins before the holidays so I can simply pull the prepared muffins out of the freezer the night before and serve them for breakfast to my holiday guests.  I do love things that make the holidays easier.

If you would like to bake your flower muffins using my banana bread recipe, which has proven to be a successful recipe to use for these muffins, you will find my recipe here:  Banana Bread Recipe by Sylvestermouse.

Sadly, like a fresh rose bud, these pretty flower banana bread muffins won't last long because they are so delicious.  But, like the gorgeous flower itself, they will leave a lasting impression of beauty in the minds of your family, friends and holiday guests.

I have used candy molds for shaping chocolate many times, but I have never used a candy mold for shaping maple syrup :) 
 
RedHairedRockHead shared her recipe for making maple candy and her most excellent suggestion of molding the maple candy to look like leaves.  

Suggestions for Maple Sugar Candy Leaves

The recipe is easy, the candy is delicious and the leaves are beautiful.  You could use these tasty leaves to decorate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, mixed into edible arrangements or simply as a stand alone candy treat. 


Beautiful and delicious!  The perfect combination for fun food!

How to Decorate Horse Cupcakes

These horse cupcakes are adorable and 
so much fun to make! 

Your will be delighted to watch 
each horse cupcake take on a 
personality of it's own when
you are decorating these works 

of fun food art.

My children are certainly crazy about them.  They even help decorate the horses.  It takes a pretty steady hand to dot the eyes and nose, but otherwise children can help with the horse hair and body.  They also love dunking the horse face to make it white!  I'm not sharing all the secrets here.   You will need to visit the actual published instruction article to find out all of the details on how to make horse cupcakes.

Step by step instructions, with photos, 
are included in the article,
