Petal Cone Cupcake for May Play Day!

We made this card at May Play Day; it uses the Petal Cone Die to make the cupcake.  I followed instructions from Heather Summers (www.stampwithheather.typepad.com/stamp_with_heather/2011/03/petal-cone-dieits-a-cupcake.html). 

Here is my recipe for the project:

My husband suggested that it would look nice to make the Petal Cone Die piece from a "chocolate" color, that it would probably show up better, and I agree with his suggestion!
