flowers

The delicate bit of blush on the cherry blossoms here is really what's getting me all swoony. So dreamy.

Sure there are all sorts of edible flowers but have you actually eaten them? I have, they taste like, well, like flowers. Wouldn't you rather eat something that looked like a flower but tasted sweet? Of course you would.

I don't usually serve my birthday cakes on a stump but this is so lovely, I may just have to start!

I've had a photo of bird shaped cookies on my computer desktop for approximately a skrillion years now. These cupcakes win. The home decor inspired use of a floral with polka dots is genius! In fact, I may use this as inspiration to redecorate my home. Cupcakes, you win!

The kitchen is feeling drab and I can't keep plants alive. This will do!

Can't you just see her gamboling in a thicket with butterflies and rainbows?

There must be about 20 flowers packed on every cupcake! That's pretty amazing. And they're all so different and incredibly made. Are they crunchy? Soft? Do I spy some of my most favorite edible glitter hiding in there? I wish it weren't so cold because this calls for a tea party in the garden for sure!

Branch out into some sweet little gold twiggies!

Let's play sleuths: What's the connection here? Sure sure, you may say it's someone's 20th birthday and they love owls but that's too easy. There must be a deeper meaning. Is there a secret society of owls? Is there a code to which side they wear their flowers on? Is 20 a mystical number?

Irises are hella masculine flowers.

These look more like a permanent decoration than an edible treat! The beetroot color is so stunning and really shows off the edible flowers clinging to the outsides. Super clever! I bet even the bees would be fooled.

When you want your phone both floofy and Harry Potter themed, this is the case for you!

Currants are perfect for a midday tart. Not too sweet, not too tart, not too heavy. I could go for a slice and a spot of tea right now to be honest.

My cherry trees are blooming out front and brightening things up pretty nicely even though the blooms are weighed down with rain and drooping toward the sidewalk. It's nice to have something other than dark branches to look at while I walk around the city. These cupcakes probably taste the way the cherry blossoms make me feel.

Hey guys! Did you know that the name Epicute has nothing to do with the word "epic"? Way back in 2009 Epicute started as its own site based exclusively on cute foods and adorable edibles! "Epicute" was the combination of the words "epicurean" (Devoted to the pursuit of sensual pleasure, especially to the enjoyment of good food and comfort) and "cute" (you know that one)! Nowadays Epicute is a twice daily feature here on Must Have Cute and is still dedicated to the adorable wonders you can eat.

As an American, I'm not super familiar with the traditional high tea ritual. Once for a bachelorette party I had tea at the Bellagio with a bunch of fancy ladies. We had champagne and lots of tiny delicious foods. This cake would have been a gaudy yet not unwelcome addition.
