Hi.
I'd like to try a cupcake cake. I am worried about how you spread the first layer of buttercream on the tops of the cupcakes without them all toppling over. I know people say put a little buttercream on the bottom of the cupcakes, but I can't believe that it really holds them in place that well.
Do you bake them on a cookie sheet in the pattern you want so that they "attach" themselves to each other? I've looked in the gallery and they all look so nicely frosted - so smooth. How do you get them to stand so still while you spread that first layer of icing??? Is the icing thinned down so it isn't so stiff? Help!!!
Thanks. 
Just bake them in regular cupcake pans.
Do you have an icing tip? You could use that....or just use your spatula and use a lot of icing at first, you'll eventually take out what you don't need. Just ice as you normally would.
You could put 4 or 5 together and practice on.
You will be amazed at how they turn out-it's so easy!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!
