These flower themed cupcakes are just the perfect way to say I love you to your mum this Mother’s Day, and they are really easy to make.
Younger children will need supervision, and the baking part should be done by adults, but mixing the batter and decorating your creations will be a whole lot of messy fun for kids of all ages.
Plus, the end results are sweet treats the whole family can enjoy.
And if you really want to make mum’s day extra special, make sure to do the part she will really love – when you clean up all the mess afterwards!
