Cupcake Wedding Cake

I recently did a great tiered cupcake centerpiece for a baby shower. I am very picky about appearance, and I was pleased. In fact, the ladies went crazy over it. One friend is copying the look for her daughter`s graduation reception. I used a 3 tiered glass cake platter from Anchor Hocking. It was $20 at Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens n Things. I put a short arrangement of flowers in the center on top with ribbons coming out and trailing down to the base. I also put cupcakes around the floral centerpiece on top. I then simply put cupcakes on all levels and inserted various coordinating flowers in the gaps. I also took small flowers and placed one on each cupcake`s center. -Could used edible ones, but my guests simply removed the flower. The flower on the top really made a difference. It added height and visual appeal to the whole ensemble. The other option would be a frosting decoration on top. Some of the pics I`ve seen online are downright ugly. I don`t care for the leaves coming off the tiers...I thought my pretty flowers coming out between cupcakes was so much better. I really think flowers are the answer to pretty vs. Plain cupcake trees. Hope these ideas help. I`ll watch the board and answer more questions if anyone has any.
