I made this Rose Cupcake Bouquet as a birthday gift for our good friend Samiksha. Its is easy and any home baker can give a try to this cupcake bouquet. Trust ,me, you don’t need to be a professional baker!
I used my fail proof basic vanila cupcake recipe for making the main ingredient - cupcakes :). you can use any butter cream recipe, i used my classic butter cream frosting (recipe follows), which is 1:4 ratio to butter and powdered sugar. All the other supplies that you need are available at craft stores – I bought them from Michael’s.

How to make Rose cupcake Bouquet ?
1 : Make the vanilla muffins
2. Arrange the Styrofoam Ball in the flower pot. If it is slightly bigger than flower pot width, using a glue gun fix it to the flower pot.
3. Using two tooth picks fix each cupcake to the Styrofoam ball.
4. Finish fixing the cupcakes on the Styrofoam ball.
5. Start piping the butter cream icing on the cupcakes.
6. Yeah!! i finished piping rosettes.
7. Last step is filling the gaps. Cut square pieces of green tissue paper and arrange 3 or 4 of them as a stack. Twist in the middle and insert into the gaps between flowers to look like leaves.
