I was wondering if someone could tell me how to do a cupcake cake. I've always wanted to do one, but never knew how. Could someone please help me out?
I would like to try one myself, I've seen some really remarkable ones on CC. One of the awesome CCC'ers will come to the rescue!
cupcakes are small individual sized cake baked in a cupcake or muffin pan.
They can be decorated to suit anyones taste and theme. The cupcake tiers you can buy or make it yurself. You'd use the column separator method to do that. You can read more here:

here is a picture of the book hope it works
These are one of my most frequently requested cakes, especially for kids to take to school and share with classmates - I did 3 this week alone! I bake my cupcakes and level any humps off if necessary - I use a 1/4 cup ice-cream scoop to fill my papers and these usually rise nicely to the rim of the paper. Then I place the cupcakes so they fit tightly on cardboard, draw around the perimeter then cut and cover the board to be at least 2ins bigger all the way around. Then I attach the cupcakes back to the board using a blob of stiff buttercream on the bottom of the paper. Then I use stiff buttercream to cover the entire surface, allow to set a bit, use the Melvira roller method to smooth. Then I add my picture (usually FBCT or CT), add the writing, and do a border around the whole thing. I have plenty in my pictures if you want to have a look!
Hope that helps!
Glue the cupcakes, still in their liners, to the board using a bit of icing (a dot from a 22 border tip works fine). Use the quick-icer tip to cover the tops of the cupcakes with icing (pipe long rows of icing that slightly overlap left to right), then smooth out with an off-set spatula. Then decorate! I love doing these because you don't have to worry about the sides and edges!
THis is a great tutorial:
