Rose Bouquet

I finally learned how to do buttercream roses on cupcakes and wanted to do a rose bouquet with them. This was a bigger challenge then first anticipated anticipated. I filled the inside of the vase with rocks to make sure if it got top heavy it wouldn't tip over. I placed a round styrofoam inside my vase, this was going to hold my cupcakes. I started doweling my cupcakes to the styrofoam and they were way to heavy. The cupcakes started drooping and breaking off. I had to remove the cupcakes and adjust my styrofoam to make sure only half of it was sticking out of the vase. I placed the cupcakes back on the styrofoam and added green celophane in-between my cupcakes to cover the blank areas. This was not the sturdiest bouquet but it did hold. If I ever plan on doing this again I will assemble on site because the cupcakes were just to heavy.
