Ingredients

For the cupcakes:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

For the frosting:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the decorations:

  • Assortment of fresh flowers
  • Green floral tape
  • Floral wire
  • Floral scissors
  • Floral foam
  • Tissue paper

Instructions

To make the cupcakes:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and yogurt until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting:

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar, butter, cream, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  2. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  3. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in a swirl.

To assemble the bouquet:

  1. Cut a piece of floral foam to fit into the bottom of a vase.
  2. Soak the foam in water for a few minutes, then place it in the vase.
  3. Cut pieces of tissue paper about the size of the cupcakes and arrange them around the foam.
  4. Cut the stems of the flowers so that they are about 3-4 inches long.
  5. Insert the stems into the foam, making sure the flowers are evenly spaced.
  6. Carefully insert the cupcakes between the flowers, pushing them down slightly into the foam.
  7. Wrap the stems of the flowers and the cupcakes together with green floral tape.
  8. Cut a piece of floral wire and shape it into a hook. Insert the hook into the foam and hang the bouquet over the vase for an extra special touch.
