Mango and Coconut Cupcakes Decorated with Butterflies

webflakes.com































I wanted to make some mango cupcakes with coconut frosting. Those flavors are associated with summertime, so I'm finally going to use the mango paste to make them.

The cupcakes are decorated with beautiful butterflies made with special icing sugar that is placed on a silicone pad from Silikomart and baked at a low temperature. The icing sugar is very easy to use, and I think it makes cakes, cupcakes, and cookies look great.
