Cupcake bouquet disaster!! - Page 10

That is a good idea.  Very pretty.

Thank you so much KHalatead, made one of these after reading your tutorial and I was really pleased with how it turned out. Here it is

Oops sorry KHalstead I spelt your name wrong in the original post

AWESOME ;-) thanks for pics ;-) have learnt alot!!

I have a new project to tackle!  These are awesome and i can't wait to try one...however..my decorating skills are not very good so i've been watching online and i'm going to take some classes :) I'm very excited.  i am learning some amazing things here everyone!  I can't wait to try out a CC bouquet though!  

Also have a question..can you use plastic buckets? i know they are not as sturdy, but perhaps if you reinforced them?  

Another decorating technique you can use, is get a printed napkin and cut the design out and then Mod Podge it onto the front of your pot, this is how I did my daughters Lollipop Bouquet almost 15 years ago, it works great.

I buy plastic buckets or metal buckets at local crafts stores of the dollar store. If doing the Styrofoam ball method you want to use party sticks instead of toothpicks. It helps too if you use a little royal icing or candy melts to dab the bottom of the cupcake liner before you stick it. Helps the cupcake stay on the stick better. Also, frost them after they are on the stick.

If you are doing the cup method, I find that if you take a piece of scotch tape and wrap over the cups where you stapled them, it gives more strength and the cups do not rip as often when you put the cupcakes in them. I use 2oz cups for a 7 cupcake or 12 cupcake bouquet and 5oz cups for larger bouquets.

These work for 7 cupcake bouquets http://www.amazon.com/Cupcake-Bouquet-Plain-White-Window/dp/B008RYWPUY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365176221&sr=8-1&keywords=cupcake+bouquet+boxes

 

For bigger ones I use a standard cake box and cut off the top. Then I make a domed lid and tape it over the top using poster board.

 

Make sure you put Styrofoam or an insert in the bottom to keep the cupcakes from moving around during transport.
