Dahlia Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 12-15 pieces of candied orange segment marmalade
• 12 cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting
• Orange sugar pearls or nonpareils

Preparation:

1. Thinly slice the marmalade crosswise. Using kitchen scissors, cut each slice diagonally in half to create triangular petals. You'll need 25-30 petals per cupcake.
2. Arrange the petals on each cupcake, working from the edges in a circle toward the center to completely cover the cupcake surface. Fill the center of each flower with pearls or nonpareils.
