Hi everyone -
I had downloaded the directions to do a Cupcake Bouquet but I can't find the post that I got them from! I want to look at the pictures again before I do them tomorrow night. Anyone remember this? The pics were great - figures I forgot to save them 
Help!

Here are the directions that I thought I got from someone on here. They were already posted so hopefully the author doesn't mind that I posted them again.
"Here are the instructions on how to make the cupcake bouquets with some pictures also
Supplies:
19 cupcakes
19 5 oz. plastic cups
30 inches of cake ruffle (whatever color matches your theme)
One 10 1/2 inch plastic plate
Stapler
Icing Tip # 2D
Decorations (Theme of your choice, use cake toppers for the center and you may use cupcake picks, sugar layons, edible sprinkles, cupcake rings, etc. to decorate all 19 cupcakes.
Instructions:
First begin with stapling the 19 cups together. Get one cup as the center and staple 6 cups around that one cup, then staples the remainder 12 cups all around the 6 cups, it will then give you a shape of a bouquet. ( I attached a picture so you can see what it has to look like)
Second get your 10" plate and cut out the edges. Then staple the cake ruffle all around the plate.
Third, insert your 19 cupcakes in each cup.
Fourth, lets decorate!! You will need your icing tip 2D with your frosting ( the frosting can be anykind you want as long as its white. Example buttercream or pastry pride whip topping.
Using tip and icing decorate the cupcakes. You can color the icing with cupcake color mist or you can color the icing before you decorate with icing color die. Then put the spinkles all around the top of icing. Then in the center put your main cake topper. Last put the rest of decorations on each cupacke like picks, rings, and sugar layons.
Last if you want to transport the cupcakes in your car, use a 14" cake box and cut the top off the box and cut a 10" circle in the center of the top you cut off. After you cut the circle out fold the sides of the top 2 times then insert the top inside your 14" box. That will keep the cupcakes from moving anywhere. Place the cupcake bouquet w/plate in your 14"box."
Whoever wrote this - speak up! I want to thank you for the very clear instructions. I know you originally had pictures but I guess I didn't get them! THANKS!!!!!!!!!

I saw this on the wilton site...maybe it will be what you are looking for. I just typed in cupcake bouquet on my search engine and it bought up several different ideas for cupcake bouquets.
Ok, what is the deal with the plate ?? At what point is this used ?? Just to attach the ruffle to ?? And then what ?? I'm feeling pretty stupid tonight. I have read these directions like 1000000 times and I can't figure it out. 
It may be that she left out a little instruction about that (maybe the cups are supposed to be hot-glued to the plate or something?) but it seems to me the plate is to give the bouquet a stable level base. The cups are all stapled together, which would make their bottoms, as a group, be curved up in the middle.
Anyway, what do I know? I am just guessing.
The bouquets are lovely though, in those pics on the Wilton site. 
I found this doing a google search "cupcake bouquet"
I don't see how you could NOT get icing all over your fingers 
Yeah, it seems like you would get icing all over your fingers grabbing your cupcake. This might be OK for a kid's party, but not for a more formal party. I just love this idea and am playing around with it. Thought it would be pretty for a bridal shower.
That is an awesome idea, I'll have to try that sometime! 
Concerning getting icing all over your fingers, if you see in the above picture with the baby's breath, the icing is not to the edges. You could easily take a cupcake without getting icing on your fingers. As long as the liner isn't completely hidden, you would just pull it up from the sides if the icing were to the edge. Basically the same deal as a cupcake cake

This is the one with the icing problem, not the baby's breath one:
There is no photo of that to the side, it doesn't show how deep in the cups the cupcakes are and if they could be pulled from the cup by the liner. As you can tell that bouquet was most likely for children, who are not going to mind getting icing on their fingers. My response was to Missy who said that at a kid's party it would be okay but for something formal you wouldn't want icing all over your guest's fingers (where in that formal bouquet, that wouldn't happen). Plus icing is easily licked off, lol
If you take your cupcake from the outside and work your way in, you can probably keep fingers clean. It seems like a cute idea for all occassions. I would love if someone could explain what to do witht the plate and lace/ribbon thing??

That ^^^^^ was from page 1 of this thread. It is what I will do if I ever make one of these.
