I've been asked to make some cupcakes with a 1920s theme for my friend's bridal shower. I won't have much time or money, so does anyone have some reasonably simple but still nice ideas out of buttercream only or buttercream and props - no fondant or gumpaste as I won't have time for those? Please help!!
ANot sure what you can accomplish without modeling something. I Googled Roaring Twenties and flappers and whatnot, and lots of great ideas...but it involves modeling things as far as I can tell.
Maybe you could just buy or borrow one of those 1920's travel or architecture posters and create a table vignette. When you get the poster, you could color coordinate the cupcakes. Put them on different height stands with props lying around: old-style wide champagne glasses, long silk gloves, fake pearls and costume jewelry.
That would look more 1920's than anything.
If you have one of those grass tips, you could ice in buttercream, do a row of pearlized dragees across the middle then pull the icing with that tip to look like fringe and it could mirror one of those flapper dresses...just a quick idea for not much extra...
Good luck!
The staging is a great idea - thank you so much and the fringe and pearls is great too - sorry was away from internet for a while but thanks for the ideas - I truly appreciate them
