When is a cupcake not a cupcake?

When it's made of flower and not flour!!! Ba boum! These were on display at one of the homes on the Azalea Trail. It took me a moment to realise that it was made from carnations.

@perspectivesimages @joeymc @ziggy77 @anazad511 @genealogygenie @ounooi @kwind @almondjoy1 @smithak @tristansmum @Weezilou @lucypics @pixiemac Thanks everyone. Although it is pretty obvious close up that this is not a real cupcake, I can assure that on a cake stand, from a distance, they looked pretty tempting! :-)
