Make a perfect gift for any occasion! This Blueberry Cupcake Bouquet is a beautiful edible substitute to a flower bouquet – cost-efficient and truly a delicious treat!
Tips and Tricks for Making This Blueberry Cupcake Bouquet Recipe:
- Before frosting, make sure the cupcakes are completely cooled to avoid melting of the frosting.
- Make the frostings ahead in one big batch and just chill it. Take them out from the chiller and frost your Blueberry cupcakes before assembling it into a bouquet.
- You can place mini candy flowers on top of the frosting for a prettier edible bouquet arrangement.
- If you don’t have a piping tip to use when frosting, simply place the whipped cream into a piping bag and make a cut in the corner of the bag and frost. Works perfectly every time!
- Coat the fresh blueberries with flour before mixing it into the batter. The flour will prevent the blueberries from sinking into the bottom.

Insert toothpicks to the foam ball. You will insert the cupcakes into the toothpicks as they will make the cupcakes steady:

I used star piping tip on this one because that was the first piping tip I first saw when I was looking for one. It looked pretty and looks like flower petals, I think.
Tadaaah! I simply inserted mini marshmallows inserted in toothpicks to fill the gaps. It looks soooo pretty! A perfect gift or dessert table centerpiece at a party!
