This is a Happy Birthday cupcake bouquet.
To create, assemble the following: cake mix, flexible straws, florist tape, mini cupcake liners and pan.
In addition, you will need 2 disposable icing bags (one to fill cupcakes with cake mix; one to frost the cupcakes and the hole for the straw), icing tips #2 and 1M.
Bake cupcakes at 350 for 10 minutes.
When cupcakes are cool, poke the bottoms with a toothpick.
Enlarge hole with a pair of scissors so that you can insert the straw without damaging the cupcake.
Frost cupcakes. I used the 1M icing tip at a 90 degree angle (see below) and just squeezed: once in the center of the cupcake, turned the cupcake clockwise and squeezed again.
Wrap straws with florist tape.
Insert straw in bottom of cupcake.
Examples of cupcake flowers with stems attached.
Prepare vase with ribbon and gift tag. I used my Happy Birthday craft stamp with gold ink on a piece of card stock to match the gold ribbon and attached the tag to the vase with double-sided tape.
Arrange cupcake flowers in vase just as you would real flowers. Because of the flexible straw, cupcake flowers will droop a little bit, just like real flowers.
There you go, another Happy Birthday on a Budget beautiful, delicious and amazing idea to make someone's birthday really special! You'll have as much fun creating this as everyone will enjoy eating it.
