Many have asked me about the sugar flowers that I used on the lemon meringue cupcakes. I can tell that the flowers are called frangipani. A very “simple” flower to make as you use 5 petals in the same size. Frangipanis is often in the color combinations white/yellow or pink/yellow.
So while I was browsing for suppliers for the cutters I found this cool Frangipani tutorial online. It is with photos and is well explained. I hope that you will enjoy it and that it will help you make beautiful frangipani flowers for you cakes and cupcakes.
You can buy frangipani cutters here:
Earls Craft ‘N’ Cake
International Sugar Art Collection
Note: If you know other suppliers who have frangipani cutters please let me know and I will add them here. Thanks!
Happy Caking
Louise

Hi, Can you tell me what icing and the recipe you have used on these cupcakes. It looks smooth and shiny, much better texture than the butter cream I make. Thanks

Hi Louise, Thanks for the tutorial. I never could figure out how to get the center right. I do have one question, though. Do you know where I can get frangipani cutters that have a slightly pointed shape? Frangipani’s (plumeria) don’t have totally rounded petals. I grow them at my house, and though they are mostly rounded, they are not completely round.
