• Preheat the oven to 350 F, and add cupcake liners to a cupcake pan
• Add flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl and mix till well combined
• Scoop lychees out of lychee can and pulse till chopped to small pieces in the food processor. Save the lychee syrup in a bowl, you will use it for the cupcake stump as well as the frosting.
• In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then add the remaining wet ingredients and mix to combine.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix using a spatula until well combined.
• Fill cupcake liners, about 3/4 of the way full each.
• Bake 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• Make the frosting by creaming the shortening and margarine till fluffy (use mixer), then adding the powdered sugar, and wet ingredients. Beat until light and fluffy.
• Scoop half the frosting in a separate bowl and add pink gel coloring and mix with a mixer till you get the shade of pink of your dreams.

Decorating the cupcake

• Make the flower decals by rolling a quarter sized ball of fondant flat about 5 mm in height, then use a flower shaped cookie cutter to cut small flowers. Use a plastic fondant shaper to push down each petal to make the petals curl.
• Add a few drops of water to pink glitter dust to make it pasty like paint. Now paint onto the center of the flowers and let dry.
• Add a portion of the white frosting into one piping bag, do the same for the pink but in another bag. Do not add too much! You will be putting the two bags together. Do not cut the tips of the bags before you add stuff. You will notice the frosting sits about 1-2 inches away from the tip.
• Now take a third, totally empty frosting bag, slip a wide round tip through it (so you need to cut the tip). Now it is time to add the other two bags into the empty bag. To do this, lightly cut the tips of both right before you slide them in. Then slide the two bags in.
• Push to let the frosting come out, both colors at once.
• Frost each cupcake starting at the middle and ending with a burst of pressure. Apply flower decor to the top!
