I wanted to make chocolate peanut butter cupcakes next weekend and use them to form a cupcake bouquet. I was going to use a 4" terra cotta pot/styroft oam ball and toothpicks to hold the cupcakes in place. Will the filling in the cupcakes make setting up the bouquet (toothpicks through cupcakes) too difficult?

I can just make the cupcakes and forgo the bouquet if necessary so your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks! icon_biggrin.gif

This is doable as long as you use 2 picks per cupcake and place that on the side, with the cupcake filling in the center. If not, it will be unstable and the cupcake won't stay put.

I make bouquets with filled cupcakes all the time, howver, I've only used raspberry, chocolate and lemon buttercream filling. They held on fine, with only 1 toothpick each. It sure wouldn't hurt to add an xtra toothpick! I've had some trouble lately with them due to the humidity...so I switched to foil liners, and that has helped tremendously!

Hello, I have tried this and what happend to me is that when I put my cupcakes on my tooth pick they would fall off so it didn't work for me.I am new to all of this so next time I will try two toothpicks instead of one. I also used pudding instead of Icing so maybe the pudding made them to heavy and I had to keep them cold because of the pudding.So I'm not sure I have helped any but at least now you know about the pudding and that it didn't work for me.

Lots of Luck & Best Wishes,
Stacy
