I absolutely LOVE Bakerella's snowglobe cupcakes. But, I'm worried Coke won't have the round coke bottles this year. If not, how can I make snow globe cupcakes? Is there a way to make a globe?

I can't get passed the snow globe part. Is it just blown sugar?
There should be other small bottle candies you can use...I will look and get back to you. |

I'm actually wondering about the "globe" part. I found the tutorial. http://www.bakerella.com/snow-.....-cupcakes/ . I don't think the empty ornaments will have a big enough opening. I am leaving now so I can ck Hobby Lobby before my workout to see if they have plastic ones. I know they have glass ones, but not sure about plastic. |

I for one have an issue using the glass on a cupcake. If I were to do a snowglobe I would use a mini cupcake as the base of the snowglobe. I would then use a jumbo cupcake turned on it's side as the globe itself. You can decorate any scene you want and you don't have to take the risk of having the glass or wondering if the glass bulbs you find will work. I have found a place called fancyflours.com that has some really cool scenes on rice paper that you could just attach using your buttercream that would look just like a real snowglobe scene.
Good luck! |

Its not glass. Its the special short and round coke bottle for the holidays with the neck cut off, so its plastic |

I just think that you shouldn't use the glass or the plastic when it comes to cupcakes unless you can be sure that they would be properly taken care of during the opening process so they don't harm the cupcake in any way and after the cupcake is eaten so no one gets hurt. When making special cakes, cupcakes I try to keep everything edible except for the cupcake liner itself. Just my opinion! Don't shoot the messenger! |

I try to make everything edible too, but I can't do blown sugar. It is apparently food safe b/c coke comes in it. I wouldn't use glass b/c I'd be afraid of shards & don't know how you could even cut it if you did use it. And plastic can be cut with a smooth edge if you use a sharp knife or exacto. But I do understand wanting to use all edible, butI really like the look of these cupcakes |

Once on Food Network's 'Unwrapped' I saw a woman that did some kind of snow globe cookie I think, using coffee drink lids. The kind of lids that go on those fancy coffee drinks with all the whipped cream on top, or the Icee lids. I saw a pack of the lids in the food service store the other day. Yes, they had a hole in the top, but it didn't take away from the overall look.
Good luck finding what you are looking for. |

Barbaranne!! That sounds like the PERFECT solution. No cutting.
I was looking for the lids for a different purpose during the summer, and I think you can get different sizes so a smaller one may be perfect for a full size cupcake.....I also think you can get them with no holes. Now that I think about it, what about those lids for ice cream sundae cups?
Mind is racing now. I'm so happy that dandilion56602 showed us the Bakerella link to the snowglobes in time for the holidays (I thought I had seen everything on her wonderful blog)...and Barbaranne, yours is a no muss/no fuss way to do it!
Once again "I love Cake Central" !! |

I'll have to look at my local restaurant supply store. What I've found on the internet is like 1000 for abt $50. I don't want that many sitting around nor to spend $50. I'm wondering though if the opening that would sit on the cupcake would be too big though. I may have to buy my dd an icee to find out.
Or something like this http://www.suitesupply.com/pla.....tm#gallery . I may call the company to see if I can find the diameter of the opening |

Here's a another source for cups/lids...in fact all kinds of plastic and paper packaging. I've purchased the cupcake containers from them several times. They allow small quantities - not sure if they have a minimum total but they have lots of items useful to "cakers" so it may be easy to meet the minimum.

Now we have to get out our rulers and measure the tops of the cupcakes! |
