Although I’m not a huge fan of cupcakes (I admit they’re cute but they’re usually too dry and too sweet for my taste), while I was making the crystallized flowers I kept thinking cupcakes would be the ideal way to showcase the flowers. So instead of making a cupcake/fairy cake recipe, I went with the iced lemon and yoghurt cake from crystallised flowers I couldn’t help thinking that something like a cupcake/fairy cake would be the ideal way of showcasing the flowers. So instead of making a cupcake recipe, I went with the iced yoghurt and lemon cake from Mary Berry’s Baking Bible. The result is delicious: moist, dense and not too sweet.
