Anyway, so this is the best I could do for an "original" dessert: a Cupcake Flower.
Yellow cake batter (box mix or my favorite recipe, somewhere on this blog)
Chocolate Whipped Cream:
1-1/2 cups whipping cream
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Whip the cream until thick but not holding its shape. Stir in the cocoa powder until fully combined, then add the sugar and vanilla, and beat until stiff.
Frost the cupcakes with a good thick layer of chocolate whipped cream, arrange in a flower shape, and sprinkle plenty of colored sugar atop each: pink for the petals, yellow for the center, and green for the stem and leaves.

That's a cute idea!! I have to work on my county business tax this weekend :(
Cute!! I'll have to remember that when it's my turn to do dessert for a meeting.
Great idea! My daughter would love this.
A splash of creativity is sure to get those tax returns in line.

Cupcakes and taxes -- two words I've never used in the same sentence.
What a fun and cute idea!
That's a cute presentation. We all like cupcakes at this house.
What a great idea with the cupcakes. Would work well for a birthday too! Sorry about the tax. Mum has finished hers, thank goodness. Our financial years ends 30 June here in Oz. Have a wonderful weekend. No worries, and love, Carol (and Stella and Rory)
Well done, producing such "girly", feminine cup cakes amidst a home full of blokes and tax time. The plate looks so pretty!
how clever! i've seen folks go to a lot of trouble decorating two or three dozen cupcakes with a very detailed design when all they really needed to do was this! :)
