Thrilled to have read all of this great advice and anxious to try making a cc bouquet. One question...some of the photos look like the "leaves" are tissue paper. If so, how do you keep it from getting greasy? Thanks!
I can't speak for anyone else, but I use plastic table cloth (the cheapie party kind) cut into +/-4 inch squares
Thanks KHalstead for all of your advice! I purchased supplies to make one cc bouquet and it was $15! They styrofoam ball was $12! I can't wait to try this using your tips.
Thanks to all for this thread... I am going to attempt making these for a bridal shower.. I am having trouble thinking of how to do this. They will be the centerpieces for the tables but there are 10 people per table. Should I make a bouquet with minis enough for each to have to cc\\'s...How would I make a regular sized cupcake bouquet with 10 cuppies?? any advice?
Thanks 
ive just read through the whole thread but i cant seem to find the answer to one of the questions which was \\"how are the toothpicks pierced through the cup\\".
Sounds like a simple question but im guessing you would have to ensure the hole isnt too big otherwise the toothpick would fall out??
I was only able to find 5 1/2 oz cups at my supply store. Do you think they will work? I don't want to open the bag and not use them. I really want to try one for friday. TIA!
OK, throw my hat into the cupcake bouquet ring! I am offeringthem for on day on V day, thank you KHalstead for your cup method, works fantastic!

These are both vanilla cupcakes with SMBC, sprayed with a little of Duff's Grafitti spray in ceramic pots I found at Ikea, and MFF flowers.
Selling 1/2 dozen for $35 with delivery in San Francisco.
I'll let you all know if I sell any (fingers crossed!!)
Thanks!

I've never tried a cc bouquet but now I'm anxious to give it a shot! Thanks everyone!
sorry, but where are the instructions? can't seem to find any reg the plastic cup method?
If you have a look on the first page of this topic KHalstead explains it and has put photos to show how to do it.
I made one this week on a whim after seeing pots at the craft store! So easy and so happy with the outcome!
I want to make a mini bouquet inside a pot. I can't tell from the picture how they are attached to the pot? Are they are stapled together and then glued in the pot? Are they glued to a cakeboard and then put in the pot? Someone has asked me to make for a bridal shower in a couple weeks and I need to figure out the best way to do. Thanks!
We've made bouquets using both methods. The cup method def worked best for us. You can see both in our pictures. The first pic is the cup method (the one wrapped in Cello) and the second is the styrofoam method. Cup method def makes for better transporting!!

I was hoping to make a cc bouquet this weekend as a surpise for a friend's birthday, but now I'm not sure what I have will work. I bought a styrofoam ball and got lollipop sucker sticks. I don't have any of the plastic cups that seem to work so well. I may have to run out and get some tomorrow or just try doing it with toothpicks. I hope I can make it work! Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Your work is so beautiful! What kind of frosting do you use. Is it a crusting buttercream Do you think I would have problems with them if I used SMBC? That is the most favorite part of my cupcakes according to my customers. Do you think they would hold up?
Wonderful pics! And love the idea. One question, and I'm on my phone so I might have missed it. Using the cups, how do you keep the top cc from falling in? I know they are stapled together, but still, under the weight of it wouldn't it fall in on itself?

I've made these several times now and never had a cave-in. The cups are very sturdy.
