Sunflower Cupcakes Tutorial

My blogger friend Ally from Ally's Sweet and Savory Eats is having a baby! My fellow Iowa Bloggers and I are throwing her a virtual baby shower.  I made sunflower cupcakes.

Please check out the rest of the goodies at Blissfully Delicious!

Sunflower Cupcakes Tutorial

Yellow cake cupcakes (or white cake mix tinted yellow)
Your favorite frosting recipe (see mine here)
Buttercup and/or yellow Paste color
# 352 or 366 LEAF decorating Tip
Sandwich cookies
Decorating Bag (I use disposable ones)

Tint your frosting.  Use just a small amount of paste to color the frosting. It doesn't take much and if you put too much in you can't go back! Add icing to decorator bag fitted with decorating tip. 

Maple and Citrus Glazed Fish

My family likes fish and love REAL maple syrup so I came up with this glaze for something a little different for them.  I am not a fish fan myself but I tried a bite anyway.  It didn't win me over to love fish but it make me think that this glaze would be quite tasty on a piece of chicken and will try it the next time I make this fish for my family. 

Maple and Citrus Glazed Fish

1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
few dashes or cracks of salt
1 pound white fish (I used Swai)

Combine orange juice and maple syrup in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook 5-6 minutes. Add salt and stir.
