Whoa Fsinger! Your table looks super nice with all of the cupcake stands and everything else.

Those people think that the fake cupcakes are real cupcakes? People are so dumb!
While they are beyond cute (and I totally think you should keep them on the table), how could they mistake that for a real cupcake, especially when there are real ones on the table. Silly geese!

As for the frosting in your previous post, have you tried IndyDebi's buttercream? Her frosting stands up REALLY well in the heat. The recipe calls for Dream Whip and for whatever reason, it really stabilizes the frosting. If you can't find it, I'd be happy to post a link to the recipe.

You could put MP in the frosting. It should help it be more stable, but it's definitely going to crust. The more you put in, the more it's going to crust.

Thanks, I have TONS of cupcake items so i figured it would be cute to put some out there on the table. All our cupcakes have to be pre boxed so I thought the stands would be a good way for people to see the cupcakes before they buy them. I got them all at Hobby Lobby when they were %50 off People think the real cupcakes are fake lol. I don't get it either. I started to use indidebi's bc and it worked well last weekend.
Ready for a great summer at the farmers market!

Glad that her recipe is working! It really is great in the heat!

Thanks for letting me know about the stands. I might have to get another one. Mine is in a storage unit in a box somewhere and we are moving next month - so there's no point for me to go and dig it out. icon_cry.gif Yeah.... thumbsdown.gif

do you need a license when selling at the farmer's market?

My market requires a license, proof of food certification, and proof that you're baking in a commercial kitchen.Products have to be pre-packaged. I'm sure all of them have their own requirements. Mine is actually an arts market in a historical area so they're very picky.

It just depends on the laws of your state. My state lets me bake out of my kitchen - but only for farmer's markets.

Just call the health dept and ask. icon_smile.gif

fsinger, your table looks great, I love those cake stands! Can I ask how you got that huge smooth swirl on top of your cupcake? Is it just an open coupler with no notch, or an actual tip? So glad your business is doing well!

adamsmom, your stand looks great, i think it could be improved with longer table cloths though? and maybe on both tables?

this sounds like a great idea though. i never thought about doing anything like this... well i did.. but then i didnt think anyone would actually buy anything.. sounds like they do though!!!

How are you keeping your icing from melting? I just signed up for our Farmers Market and am concerned about the heat.

Annie70 - I use the single count boxes from Big River Packaging, they are some of the cheapest I could find. Their website is www.brpboxshop.com. Below is a picture of my cupcake bites... icon_biggrin.gif

What is in your bites? Are they cake balls?
Are you buying your choco shells?
A very long time ago I made them with a mold, but so time consuming.
Thanks for all your posts... you are a help to many!
