How To Make A Cupcake Bouquet

In this film Jo Gathern, professional cake decorator, shows you how to make this impressive cupcake bouquet with just a few simple tools, a little time and a few cupcakes.

You Will Need

  • 1 basket
  • 1 heavy rock
  • 1 florist foam ball, covered in cling film
  • bubble wrap
  • coctail sticks
  • coloured buttercream
  • tissue paper
  • ribbon
  • tape

Top Tips

  • If using a basket, use a foam ball smaller than the top of the basket so the handle of the basket doesn't get in the way of the cupcakes.
  • Ice the cakes once they are firmly attached to your florist's ball, as they would get ruined if you iced first and then tried to secure them on!
  • To make rose icing, pipe a swirl starting in the centre and going outwards instead of starting from the outside and going inwards as you do with a normal icing swirl.
