Spring Time Flower Pot cupcakes
Last year I saw these adorable flower pot silicone baking cups in the store. I thought, “Oh those are so cute. But really when would I actually use them?” I didn’t buy them. And then for the next year every time I went to go bake cupcakes I kept thinking; “Man, I really wish I had those adorable flower pot baking cups!” So when I saw them in the store again this year; I bought them immediately. They seem to only show up around Spring and Easter time. But you can also find the Flower pot silicone baking cups on amazon randomly throughout the year. So I finally had my flower pot baking cups that I have been wanting for over a year. So obviously I had to try them out! My kids didn’t mind. They love when I make cupcakes, because I rarely eat any of them. Thus more for the kids! I just like to bake. But what I really love about these flower pot cupcakes is that they are so adorable. And actually look quite festive. But they are one of the easiest cupcakes I have ever decorated!

Once you bake up your cupcakes; you want to make sure they cool completely. Then you frost them. My favorite way is with a nice Whipped frosting or the Cool Whip frosting from the freezer section right next to the Cool Whip whipped cream. I used them before when I made Raspberry Filled Gourmet cupcakes and it was heavenly! Those are my two favorites when it comes to flavor. I like the chocolate frosting because it gives the look of dirt for the flower cupcake look. I merely just smeared some of the frosting across the tops of the cupcakes. You don’t need a lot. And it doesn’t have to look super fancy either.
Sprinkle on some green coconut flakes. I like this method because to me it looks a bit more like grass than say sprinkles do. Plus I love coconut and chocolate together. To make the green coconut flakes, simply put some coconut in a plastic bag. Add 1-3 drops of green food coloring. Seal the bag and shake. Ta-Da! You have green coconut flakes.
Then finally you want to use the adorable Wilton flower decorating kit I found at Walmart. It offers the easiest method I’ve found for making a believable and cute flower for the Flower Pot Cupcakes. Plus the kids say they taste really good. And that is always most important in our kitchen. Taste comes before beauty!
Simply add the white candy ball to the center of the flower. Insert it into the cupcake and then add the leaf candy at the base. And now you are finished!
I told you it was super easy! And yet they look so cute! They look like you spent a lot more time on them than you really did! I love being sneaky like that! These Flower Pot Cupcakes would be perfect for any Spring or Summer party, brunch, birthday party, themed party, or just for fun. If you want something extra festive pair them with our adorable PEEPS mini Easter Basket cupcakes.
What an adorable spring treat. These would be perfect for a garden party!
Those are wicked cute, but they seem like they might make a mess when it’s time to pop them out and eat them? Do they make a mess?
Surprisingly not any worse than any other cupcake. The flower pot baking molds are non-stick. So I just gently separate the cupcake from the mold in a circular motion and out it pops. The mess is in the eating of a cupcake with kids..but that happens with all cupcakes at our house. lol.
I just love how easy they are to make and they look professional. Beautiful job, as always.
How cute are those! I need to get my hands on some of those baking cups. I keep seeing cupcakes in those pots and I would ask myself that doesn’t seem safe I need to research how to use those terra cotta pots to bake in. Thank you for solving the mystery for me!
My kids would totally love these.
These cupcakes would be great for a teacher appreciaton brunch at our school. I am in signed up for a dessert. These will be perfect!

Nice job! Wilton makes the neatest pans and things! So creative!
These are so adorable. My daughter would just love, love, love to make these. My only problem would be not eating all of them.
Too bad the pots aren’t edible – that would have made them perfect!

Such a cute idea. I will be making these for the end of the year party at school
I love this idea!! I bet my kids would enjoy this at their next birthday parties.
I’ve seen people use flower pots for “dirt dessert” but never used for cupcakes. A-DOR-ABLE!
Does it get cuter than that? I think not. I love those little flower pots!!! And the cupcakes look delicious.
Funny, we are making these (similar ones) tomorrow. I love Spring and all the cute things like this you can do.
These are just so adorable and would brighten up any party decor. I think they would make great treats for any little girl’s BD party too.

Those are so cute! My kids would have a blast making (and eating) the cupcakes.
Those are awesome, I was going to make similar ones for my daughter’s birthday that I saw on Pinterest but never got around to it. I love how the flowers are in a kit vs. having to hand make it all – they turned out great!
I love the decorating kit! It would be so cute and easy for a girls cupcake decorating party.
I made some like these earlier in the spring . They are very cute for kids!
So adorable! Isn’t that the way it goes? You don’t need it when you see it but then you need it later. If you had bought it the first time, would you have needed it? Who knows!
Those are absolutely adorable!
Super cute spring project for kids! I will be adding this to our projects.

So cute!! I would love to make these for parties. It would be such a conversation starter.
These are super cute–and look easy to make, too!
Those came out so cute! I didn’t know they made such cool baking cups. I thought maybe you somehow magically transferred the cupcakes to the pots, lol.
These are absolutely adorable! It is amazing the cute stuff they are coming up with.
These cups really are awesome! I will have to look for them. I think I could make such cuteness with them! I love what you did with the flower kit!
i just recently purchased these and am not a baker but they looked so cute. How full do i fill the flower pot to cook? Also can i put them in a muffin tin like when you bake regular cupcakes? Putting the flower pot in hole vs a liner?
Fill the containers just as you would a regular cupcake liner. If you need help to hold them upright as you fill them, you can definitely place them in a muffin tin. Once they are filled, they are a little more sturdy and don’t tip over as easily, but they still can tip over, so you want to move gently as you put them into the oven.
