I have a bride that wants 100 Chrysanthemums on cupcakes - she gave me a copy of the picture - I believe it came from good ole Martha Stewart!??

Here is my question - since she wants so many, can I pre-make the flowers, have them air dried and ready to go.. then bake the cupcakes and assemble ? rather than doing the flower on the cupcake.

Too top it off - she also wants 100 roses on cupcakes
Thats 200 cupcakes and I am just trying to get my time line down without giving up on the freshness of the cupcakes.

TIA TIA TIA

yes, you can premake the chrysanthemums.. and roses ahead of time. when i premake. i keep them in a tupperware container. i do not put them in frig. or freezer. hth i love martha stewart..

Which recipe do you use? RI or BC ?

Thanks again !!!!

WOW! You have a lot of work cut out for you!

For me, if I had that many to make - I think I would use RI. Because it's supposed to harden up anyway.

I would do buttercream. Royal Icing is like eating rocks to me. I would rather have a soft flower that I can eat. Add meringue powder to the buttercream when making the flowers.

I'm with Wesha. I like the BC better.
