Where do I buy the 2 inch and 5 inch cups? I have looked at the grocery stores, dollar store, party city without any luck. Does anybody know the brand name of these cups so I can order online? Thanks so much!

I made one this week on a whim after seeing pots at the craft store! So easy and so happy with the outcome!

I want to make a mini bouquet inside a pot. I can't tell from the picture how they are attached to the pot? Are they are stapled together and then glued in the pot? Are they glued to a cakeboard and then put in the pot? Someone has asked me to make for a bridal shower in a couple weeks and I need to figure out the best way to do. Thanks!

We've made bouquets using both methods. The cup method def worked best for us. You can see both in our pictures. The first pic is the cup method (the one wrapped in Cello) and the second is the styrofoam method. Cup method def makes for better transporting!! icon_smile.gif

I was hoping to make a cc bouquet this weekend as a surpise for a friend's birthday, but now I'm not sure what I have will work. I bought a styrofoam ball and got lollipop sucker sticks. I don't have any of the plastic cups that seem to work so well. I may have to run out and get some tomorrow or just try doing it with toothpicks. I hope I can make it work! Thanks for the tutorial!!!

Your work is so beautiful! What kind of frosting do you use. Is it a crusting buttercream Do you think I would have problems with them if I used SMBC? That is the most favorite part of my cupcakes according to my customers. Do you think they would hold up?

Wonderful pics! And love the idea. One question, and I'm on my phone so I might have missed it. Using the cups, how do you keep the top cc from falling in? I know they are stapled together, but still, under the weight of it wouldn't it fall in on itself?

I've made these several times now and never had a cave-in. The cups are very sturdy.

I just LOVE the cc bouquets!! Getting the courage to try and do one. What do the plastic cups sit in in the pot so they don't sink down? Is there a tip to use to get the rose flower look on the tops?

Thanks much!!
