Flour, frosting and fondant are the ingredients artist and baker Zilly Rosen will use to create portraits of US presidents Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, dpa reported.
Washington’s National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum are co-hosting their fourth annual Presidential Family Fun Day on Saturday.
The centrepiece of the event will be Rosen’s portraits, using 5,000 cupcakes arranged to look from above like Lincoln (1861-65), remembered as the Great Emancipator, and Obama, who took office last month as the first African-American president.
“This presidential portrait is not only distinguished but delicious,” the National Portrait Gallery touted.
Unlike the paintings in the galleries of the two museums, the cupcake portraits will have a very short shelf life. After staying on display for the afternoon, the artwork will be deconstructed by the children in attendance.
The free, family-oriented event, an observance ahead of Monday’s Presidents’ Day, will also include fife-and-drum music, singing, storytelling and historical impersonators including Lincoln and other presidents.
Thursday was the 200th birthday of Lincoln, who ordered the emancipation of slaves in 1863 and was assassinated in April 1865, just days after achieving victory in the American Civil War.
The cupcake artwork will be titled A New Birth of Freedom, borrowing a phrase from one of Lincoln’s most famous speeches.

FLORIDA – Lime Cupcakes with Mango Buttercream!
This delectable recipe was submitted by Marta of Sugar Crush Cupcakes.
For the cake:
For the Frosting:
Prepare the cupcakes as directed for your basic vanilla cupcake recipe. Add the zest and juice of a whole lime (if avaliable Key Limes can be used here) to the prepared batter and fold in until it is incorporated. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. While the cupcakes are cooling peel and dice one whole mango (about 1 cup). Place the mango in a saucepan and add the juice of 1 lime. On medium heat cook this down until the mango has become soft (stiring with a whisk helps this along), about 7-10 minutes. When the mango peices have all broken down in the pot, transfer to a food processer and blend until smooth. Set aside and allow to cool. In a large bowl beat the softened butter until smooth. Add two cups of the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Then add two more cups and beat until smooth. Then add the milk and vanilla and two more cups of powdered sugar. Once that is blended and smooth, add the cooled mango puree and blend. Add more powdered sugar to reach the desired consistency. Place frosting in a piping bag with a tip and frost the cooled cupcakes. Decorate with a slice of lime.
Congrats from all of us here at All Things Cupcake, and thanks to all that participated!

There was a small cake for the bride and groom to cut, then the guests were served an array of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes topped with buttercream frosting, airbrushed green and yellow, then topped with a chocolate fish of an alternating color. It was absolutely adorable, and all the guests were buzzing about the adorable wedding cuppies!
