My pansy cakes for the teachers

Following this post on the present for pre-school teachers I decided to make some pansy cakes for my DD and DS teachers, 6 in total. I loved the poem on the link about helping them to grow and thought the cakes followed the theme.
My DS helped make the cakes and they both made the tags to go on them. Hope you like them!

Those are so cute!!! Are they cup cakes and then iced? I am having trouble trying to imagine the size?
Please tell me how you made those:T :TYou're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *0 -
AAgh I've added them to the post but they're a bit big sorry!
They were made in dariole moulds but you could probably use muffins. The cakes are about the size of a yogurt pot. They were fairly straight forward just time consuming. I got the idea out of a Peggy Porshen (sp?) book.
They're iced with sugarpaste to make the plant pot and then make pansy flowers and leaves out of flower paste and arrange and stick on woth a blob of royal icing. The soil is made from chocolate sugarpaste, yum.
I'm really chuffed with them

I also have Peggy's book and saw these but never dared to try and make them but yours look amazing! Well done, I'd be so impressed if someone gave one to me as a gift.0
