How to Make Little Flower Pot Candy Cakes

DIY: How to Make Little Flower Pot Candy Cakes

In about a week we will finally start to hopefully feel the first signs of spring here in New England. It has been such a cold and harsh winter that has certainly been no fun. I miss the grass, flowers, and birds chirping so incredibly much! My spring fever and recent shipment of Easter and spring candy from SweetWorks.net really got me in the mood to bake and create!

About a month ago my husband and I were at one of our local hardware stores and I spotted these really cute little clay flower pots. I decided to buy four because I knew they would be great for Easter or spring crafts. I thought I was gonna use them for egg place setting cards, but then today, while baking some gluten free chocolate cupcakes, a light went off in my head

Why not cut each cupcake in half and stuff them into each cleaned clay flower pot? I actually made homemade vanilla butter cream frosting as well, and knew that would come in handy as grass! I was so inspired by the little flower candies I received from SweetWorks that I decided to make little flower pot candy cakes.
