I am new (no duh)!! I have never done anything with cupcakes. I have a couple of questions.....

The cupcake cakes I have seen here look like a cake ( I know, it shouldn't be rocket science!)

So how do you do this? Line up the cupcakes and just ice over top of all of em? Individually ice each one?

I am sorry for sounding so stupid...lol....I would like to do a halloween one for my daughters kindergarten class, but they have to be in indidvidual servings, so I am thinking a cupcake cake would be perfect....

Thanks for the help...... this place is great!!!

Charley (female...so no one gets confused like in another post!! lol

well you make the cupcakes, form them into some shape, put a little frosting on the bottom to keep them in place and then spread icing over them... I am wanting to make one myself now, that I was at a friends house and seen her do them... other then that it doesnt seem much different then anything else.... good luck and by the way welcome!
