I thought these cupcakes were going to be a real hassle because the buttercream leaves & flowers were to be piped on top of them...but they weren't as bad as I'd expected!

First, I smoothed the Bailey's Chocolate Buttercream and the Grand Marnier Vanilla Buttercream tops with a small off-set palette knife...then I piped the leaves and flowers onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, froze them and then just placed them on all the cupcakes. 

Froze the cupcakes overnight for easier transport/delivery/setup!!

Wow, I love the presentation! This may sound like a stupid question, but did you make the display stand? If so, how? The whole thing looks great!

What a beautiful display. They sound delicious. Great job as always.

I adore this display stand. (You can see it in my Photos section being used for 2 other events!) It is a copy of the stand used in Martha Stewart magazine last year. A local carpenter made it of wood for me. It comes apart into 4 "boxes" of tiers and packs flat in the car. BUT it is huge!!! 36 inches x 36 inches x 26 inches!!! I get some great comments when I am setting them up at a wedding!

You make some of the best cakes I have ever seen. You are so talented. I am also a big Martha fan - she has some great ideas!
antonia74 8/21/05 at 5:49am
Thank you SO much! It's so nice to get a lovely compliment like that! Though we all poke fun at Martha...we secretly adore the ideas!

I can see why you use it over and over...I would do the same and find other ways to use it even more! It lends to beautiful setups...And it adds the cupcakes, it makes them look fancy! May I ask how much of the liquor you add to your buttercream? They sound yummy!

For about 3 lbs. of buttercream, just 3-4 Tablespoons, so you can taste it.

Beautiful work as always!!

Thanks everyone! The bride called on Friday to say that the children at the wedding were SO excited to eat these!

I LOVE that you froze them to make it easier to transport. I have a 120 cupcake wedding coming up and needed that awesome idea!
mrsw 6/5/07 at 12:33pm
That is really great. I have a "2nd" wedding and this would be a great idea for them. Very cool
cakechica27 6/5/07 at 12:34pm
Really beautiful job.
azeboi2005 6/16/07 at 11:20am
great job...i love the idea of cupcakes at a wedding, it totally saves on the hassel and messiness of cake service. a few questions 1) when flavoring the butter cream do you make the normal recipe and then add the liquor or substitue the liquid in the bc recipe for the liquor, 2) in a previous pic you said that you use higher paper liners where do you get them from? thanks in advance....ps. i hope someday my cakes look like yours!
antonia74 6/24/07 at 9:28pm
i get my liners from a local restaurant supply warehouse, no brand name....they just sell them in packs of 500. The mini liners and the large liners are about 25%-40% larger than the jumbo liners we find here in grocery stores and the paper is twice as thick, so they are nice and sturdy. If I flavour my IMBC with liquor, I omit the vanilla in the recipe and add about 2-3 times as much liquor instead

:evil: pic looks adorable. but the big picture never popped up. too bad
neeron 6/25/07 at 10:27pm
