Equipment
- 7 disposable cups (2½ to 2¾-inches in diameter) paper or plastic
- clear cellophane roll approx 22-inch square (55cm)
- gift tissue paper sheets approx 20-inch squares (50cm)
- large gift bow optional
- scissors
- scotch tape
Instructions
- Chill or freeze your cupcakes as you assembly the bouquet to allow frosting to set. Freshly decorated cupcakes will be harder to place into the bouquet as the frosting will be delicate, soft, and easy to accidentally mess up.
- Cut cellophane and green tissue papers to desired size. Slice approx 20 pieces of tape 1-1½-inch (2-3cm) long ready to use. Set aside.
- Tape all cups together in a "2-3-2" design in 3 rows. Place cups on white side of cake board and secure down with tape.
- Lay down the cellophane, tissue paper, then the cups/board last. Tape the cake board to the tissue paper to keep it center. Then, gather the cellophane/tissue paper and fold into a crease and tape it securely to tighten the bottom half of the bouquet. These folds resemble how you would fold/crease your flat bed sheet at each bed corner. The cellophane/tissue paper points will be pointing up in various directions.
- Use 2-3 green tissue squares as cupcake liners and gently place all chilled cupcakes into the cups.
- Tie ribbon around the cups and secure tightly. Chill bouquet in fridge until ready to present.
Notes
- Refer to Assembly section above and video for clear visual instructions if needed.
