My mother is the most caring person I’ve ever met in my life, and I don’t say that just because she’s my mom. I say it because it’s true. She is always thinking of everyone else, her heart as large as the sky. She’s done so much for me in my 26 years, things I probably didn’t deserve, OK, things I know I didn’t deserve. I’m sure that in her years as a mother, she’s been unappreciated, overlooked, and she may have even felt unloved. It’s not because we meant harm, it’s because we were young. We didn’t understand. I blame it on that.

- 1 flower vase
- styrofoam ball
- 8 toothpicks
- 8 mini cupcakes
- icing for cupcakes (I used canned frosting
- 8 plastic cups (2oz)
- piping bag
- 2D Piping tip
- clear tape
- green tissue paper
Carefully poke toothpicks through the bottoms of the 2 oz plastic cups. Push the toothpicks/cups into the styrofoam ball. Space them out to cover the styrofoam ball.
Place plain/un-frosted cupcakes into the plastic cups that at secured with toothpicks. Toothpick should go through the inside of the cupcake.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a star type tip and starting at the center of the plain cupcake, pipe icing in a swirl to form a “rose” look.
Cut some of the green tissue paper into strips. Fold a few times and place the green paper strips in-between the plastic cups and tape them to the green tissue base. *this will make the leaves*
***for these I did use store bought cake mix and frosting***
I used Orange Supreme Cake Mix and Chocolate and Vanilla Frosting (tinted orange)
Yield: 1 Cupcake Bouquet
