These Plant Cupcakes Make Delicious Remakes of Household Plants

— March 8, 2014 — Art & Design

Pastries are one of the foods that can be customized most easily and impressively. These cupcakes are simple but the presentation is top notch. Alana Jones-Mann doesn't only make delicious plant cupcakes, she also teaches people how to make their very own.

Her site shows every step for each different kind of plant that she emulates. The steps are clear and simple and she even shows the reader how to make the bed of sand that shows up at the bottom, which is also edible.
