So, in order for you to make your very own cupcake bouquet, you should have these things:

- Cardboard

- Cardboard

- Glue gun

- Bouquet ornaments or greenery

- Ribbon, string, or wire

- Cupcakes

- Bouquet ornaments or greenery

- Craft knife

- Cake dowels

How To Make A Cupcake Bouquet

1. Since you have gathered everything that you need, to start with, get your cardboard and pencil and draw little circles on the cardboard. The diameter must be not less than 2 ". When you've completed this, cut down each one of these little circle marks and put them in stack.

2. Put a tiny x's label on the middle of these circles. This marks the spot where you need to make minor rips in the discs.

3. At the time you have created little rips in the discs, get your dowels then arrange them in these newly-made holes. The dowels you are about to use must ideally measure 6x12 inches. Make sure that not less than 1 inch of the dowels is over the disc.

4. Flip the disc in the reverse side and stick the cake dowels to the underside of the disc to help it keep it positioned. Have the adhesive dry out for quite a while in order that the dowels as well as the discs will be anchored.

5. For the greenery, this may be faster and easier if perhaps you are a skilled floral designer. All you need to carry out is set up the leaves right into a form of a flower bouquet. Include your cake dowels and discs right into the design, and secure your flower bouquet by using a fine ribbon. You can even work with a wire, but it could be more beautiful in the event you top it off using a lace. Yet, in case you're not pretty trained in setting up a floral arrangement, simply request a florist to help you in this particular part.

6. Put the cupcakes on the cake dowels, making sure that they are secure enough so that they do not fall over. Preferably, only use medium size cupcakes with 5x6 in . so they are neither too large nor too little for the bouquet.

Other options to consider

The aforementioned cupcake bouquet guidelines aren't the only means on how to make a cupcake bouquet. What if you prefer your cupcake flower bouquet to be the centerpiece in an occasion? You can do this, as well, in just a quarter hour. If you prefer to use the cupcake flower bouquet as a centerpiece, you initially have to select the container you will use. Often, you need to prepare a little pot that you'll utilize to help make the bouquet of cupcakes stand up. Additionally, a cabbage or a Styrofoam ball should be used where you will stick your cupcakes, as well as colored paper, topping, toothpicks, and tissue paper.

1. Trim the cabbage head, taking off the extra layers right until it fits the pot or container. Make sure that 1 / 2 of the cabbage head is seen outside the container.

2. Wrap a sheet of colored paper round the cabbage head just before adding it in to the container.

3. Now, it is time for you to dress your cupcakes! Use your imagination and allow your thoughts to run free. Simply have a piece of cupcake and mess around with it until you select the style that you prefer. You can make it look like a blooming flower as a way to stick to the thought of a cupcake flower bouquet, or perhaps you can just put the cupcake as it is, which is not enjoyable in any way, to be truthful. If you prefer it rather simple, you may just swirl some topping at the top of the cupcakes. Even so, you have to understand that you simply can't just twig the cupcakes that way into your cabbage or it will melt and drip before long. Refrigerate it first for about 20 minutes in an attempt to solidify its icing. Besides, it is easier to work with the crusted frosting after it is chilled. Additionally you can decorate your cupcake when it is already stuck on the cabbage, but that could be a little chaotic if you aren't very careful.

4. Get a piece of toothpick and poke an opening towards the bottom of the cakes. Take them out and use the same toothpicks on the cupcakes, then place the cupcakes on the toothpick. Arrange the toothpick and the cupcakes in accordance with the pattern that you wish to achieve.

5. Soon after you are finished arranging the cupcakes on the cabbage, get a couple of colored tissue paper and crumple them just enough to help make the corners noticeable. Use these tissue paper to fill out the gaps of your cupcake bouquet.

6. For a finishing touch, put a ribbon into your vase, and you are by now through with your beautiful hand crafted cupcake bouquet.
