Southwestern Themed Cupcakes

Well, these will be the last cupcake order I will be completing before I head on out to Chicago for Pastry School.  My friend was having a southwestern themed party for a friend who is moving to New Mexico.  The invitations had avocados and green chili peppers on them, so she wanted to incorporate that into the cupcake decorations.  In the end, I took the liberty of adding the small red flower... I just thought it needed a pop of another color, other than green.  These were a lot of fun to make!  That's one reason that I love this profession so much- every order is unique and a challenge and it never gets boring :)
