I've provided a tutorial on how to make these-they're really very easy although they re time consuming, particularly making the ropes that sit around the velvet pillow. Because of the drying time, the plus and the minus is that they need to be made a day or two ahead. That can be a good thing if you are wanting to make these ahead for a party where you can make them ahead of time but bad if you are in a hurry. And these cupcakes are very Finnish in that they have cardamom which is a flavour…
