Ok Ladies how cool is this for a gift.. Bring your cupcake bouquet to your next birthday party, baby shower, Mother’s Day, bridal shower…the possibilities are endless! How to Make a Cupcake Bouquet Cupcakes White frosting Disposable piping bag or a reusable piping bag Wilton 1M tip (or a similar open star tip) Green tissue paper Clear tape Flower Pot Styrofoam ball Toothpicks Tip ** use Soft Gel Paste food coloring for different color roses. Just add with white frosting. Soft Gel is concentrated helps you achieve the exact shade you want without watering down your icing. Bake the cup cake (cake mix direction) Preparing Icing - To pipe a cupcake rose, fit a piping bag with a 1M tip and fill with room temperature frosting. To pipe a rose, hold the piping bag perpendicular to the surface and start in the center of the cupcake. Gently squeeze the bag and pipe frosting around in a spiral until you reach the outer edge, then let go. Place cupcakes in fridge while you prepare the styrofoam so the frosting becomes firm. Note** around the sides, insert toothpicks at 45° angle, otherwise cupcakes will fall off after a while. Place styrofoam ball into flower pot. Place two toothpicks in each area where you want a cupcake. Slide a cupcake onto each pair of toothpicks, adjusting toothpicks as needed to place cupcakes close together. Cover as much of the styrofoam as you can. (My styrofoam ball had a 5″ diameter and fit 10 cupcakes.) Leafs - Cut green tissue paper into small strips. Fold strips into accordions.. Pinch the bottom of the accordion fold.. Lace a piece of clear tape at the pinched part of the tissue paper and stick it to the exposed styrofoam in between the cupcakes. Make more tissue paper “leaves” until you cover all the uncovered areas. And you’re done! Bring your cupcake bouquet to your next birthday party, baby shower, Mother’s Day, bridal shower…the possibilities are endless! 52 Kitchen Adventures - 52kitchenadventures/2012/04/29/how-to-make-a-cupcake-bouquet/
