How To Make Your Own Cupcake Bouquet

Since several people have asked how to make your own cupcake bouquet, I'm going to tell you how I did it so you can make one for your loved ones for Valentine's Day.  If you live near me and don't want to make one for yourself, I'm selling mine for $50.  It has approximately 14 cupcakes on this size.  281-804-3032.

So let's get started.  Use any size terra cotta flower pot.  I bought mine at Lowes.  I painted this one with Rustoleum Heirloom White which I had left over from my Halloween pumpkin project

Next I bought a styrofoam ball at Walmart, but you could use any floral foam.  The ribbon I found at Walmart also.

I left the plastic wrap on the ball because I didn't want foam to break off on my cupcakes.  Place the ball into the pot and insert toothpick to hold the cupcakes.

Starting at the bottom, insert cupcakes unfrosted.

Next add any green tissue paper cut into strips and insert in any open spaces.  I used this green and white paper I had.  I cut the top into little v's and just scrunched it up and inserted so that your foam doesn't show through.

Frost your cupcakes using a 1M Wilton tip starting in the center all the way around.  I used red and white frosting but it would be just as pretty only using red or pink.  

Tie your bow on pot and glue with a dab of hot glue.

Now you have a pretty Valentine Cupcake bouquet.  This would obviously be great for Mother's Day or a birthday in any color combination.  

If you try this, let me know how it turns out!  Thanks for sharing in my adventures!  Deana :)
