The only thing better than a beautiful bouquet of flowers is a cupcake bouquet of baked blooms! Since they are shareable they are perfect for Showers, Birthdays, Mothers Day, or any special occasion.
They make wonderful decorations for your table also. You can arrange the bouquet flat on a cake board or pop the cakes on sticks and arrange into a flower pot. It’s quite easy to do and you can customize it with messages or by using the icing in a color that the recipient loves.
You could use ready made cupcakes or make your own freshly baked ones for extra love. Add sprinkles and edible glitter of you really want to dazzle them.
