Help...
First, I want to thank everyone who posted pictures of their cupcake bouquets. I made two of them for Mother's Day and they looked gorgeous. Now for the problem. The frosting slid off the cupcakes that were closer to the bottom. One bouquet had a medium consitency of Wilton recipe and the other had a slightly thinner consitency of Wilton. I made the cupcakes the same day I frosted them, but they weren't warm. Can someone tell me what recipe of frosting/buttercream I should use and could you provide the recipe. What else did I do wrong. Help. I want to make more of these in the future.

Thanks.

I've made a bunch of bouquets and used the 'Buttercream Dream' recipe off this site and never had a problem. I did read somewhere a suggestion (I think by Cambo) to tap your cupcake on the counter right after you have iced it to help the icing settle onto the cupcake. Perhaps this might work?????

Good Luck!

Thanks, I'll give it a try and post my pictures soon.

I also made a couple bouquets with buttercream dream icing. I have a few that looked like it had started to slide but it stayed. As soon as I got my bouquets done, I sat them in the fridge. I am also going to try to tap them on the counter like Cambo suggested. I have another one to make today!!

I used Odessa's Crusting Buttercream and tapped my cupcakes on the counter. No problems with the icing at all

i also used buttercream dream, but i put the cupcakes on the pot first and then i frosted them and then put them in the fridge till i was leaving the house. mine stayed.
