Cupcake Pull-apart Cakes

Here's a few of the cupcake cakes I made last summer: The trick with pull-aparts is using empty liners and playing around with the shape you're trying for then you'll know how many cupcakes to bake and what size board and box you will need. This will also give you an idea of how much to charge your customer. Oh, remember to take a pic while the empty liners are in the correct shape so you'll be all set to go once your cupcakes are baked and cooled. For the superhero I decided it would be easier to make the emblem a buttercream transfer and place it from the freezer on to freshly frosted cupcakes to hopefully settle into the buttercream and actually pull-apart at the party. This was too easy for a change :) Yes, I do usually wish I had placed the cupcakes a little differently after I'm done! Maybe 2 more mini cupcakes for the bottom of the 8? This pull-apart was delivered to the Flushing City Police Deparment and they all love

Cupcake Bouquet

I did my first cupcake bouquet last week and it turned out ok, not great. Next time I will use mini cupcakes in addition to regular size to fill in the gaps. Also, I will place the bottom row of toothpics angled up slightly, I thought the bottom row of my bouquet looked like it was going to fall off. Here's a couple of pics I piped the frosting on after placing the cupcakes on the ball next time I will pipe first, refrigerate for 20 - 30 minutes then place on the styrofoam ball. I picked the vase up at Joann Fabrics, on sale, and got 40% off the styrofoam ball. The vase has a 5 or 6 inch opening and the ball was the same size. I made sure the ball would sit down in the opening of the vase a little before I purchased it. The ball held 14 cupcakes. I used regular toothpicks but will be on the lookout for longer ones in the future and, as stated above, will add maybe a half dozen minis. Feedback, tips or questions are welcome
