Ingredients
Ingredients:
8 ounce cream cheese at room temp
1/2 stick butter at room temp
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 tsp matcha green tea powder
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp peppermint extract
fresh peppermint or lavender flowers for garnish
Preparation:
1. Beat butter and cheese until creamy, gradually add half the confectioners sugar and green tea powder.
2. Add flavorings and beat until combined, then gradually add the rest of the confectioners sugar until it is the consistancy you prefer.
3. Frost your cupcakes or cake. Garnish the top with tiny (washed) twigs and small craft birds, which you can find at a Michael's or other local craft store for a few dollars. See the picture for inspiration - keep in mind these pictures aren't of the green tea frosting and cupcake batter, just of the decoration on top. Enjoy!
