The cupcakes look great. I was a little surprised you didn't put something on top of them, like sprinkles or colored cake decorations. The flowers look lovely. I'll have to remember to take photos of the flowers on my porch and the glads in front. I have two vinca plants and a snap dragon. One snap dragon is growing in a place I never planted it.
