Cupcakes are so<\/strong> urban-chic these days. They are fresh. They are easy. They take you back to third grade. And well, they are not going anywhere ..at least for awhile. <\/p>\n

Everyone has taken the cupcake-dog-and-pony-show on the road. You can find everything from pet portrait cupcakes to gourmet five layered Chinese cupcakes. But here at No Fuss Fabulous<\/strong>, I try to keep things simple for my sanity. Don’t get me wrong. I love<\/strong> a fabulously decorated cupcake. (Did you not see my Gobble em\u2019 up! Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes<\/a>?!?!) BUT<\/strong> as much as I look up to to all the fabulous women who make fondant flowers that look like real petunias but even better <\/strong>– I am not so talented or patient and I’ve got a life to run. That is why I am in LOVE<\/strong> with edible flowers. You get all the pow without all the work. Flower power, baby. (Yes, you read that right. I wrote, “Flower power, baby<\/em>.” Annie is going to die. Oh well. Back to the edible flower power cupcakes.) Just frost and place a flower on top. Voila!<\/em> You are done. You are fresh. You are fabulous. You are so<\/strong> urban-chic. <\/p>\n
