My bestest friend’s daughter received first communion this past weekend and my friend asked me to make cupcakes for the party afterwards.
I immediately said sure. No problem. How many do you want?
She goes, “How about 50. Yeah, at least 50.”
50? Ummm… okay. Thinking in the back of my mind… How am I going to transport 50 cupcakes and still keep them as fresh as possible because I’ll have to make them the night before? And what am I going to carry them all in and put them on? Now, that may not sound like a lot to you guys, but it is when you’ve never done that many for someone else before and especially for a whole bunch of people you’ll have to look in the face if they don’t like them. I’m not a caterer, you know.… I tend to panic right before I bake. I’m weird like that…
… and, then how to decorate them? What do you do for communion cupcakes anyway?
Luckily, I still had the invitation laying around, so I just used it for inspiration.
And, after visiting several stores, I finally found a 4-tier Cupcake Tower
from Wilton that would hold about 36 cupcakes. That was the biggest I could find, and seeing as how I waited until the last minute… I grabbed it.
I wanted each tier to alternate with the design, so I started planning and put my math skills to work.
12 + 8 + 1 = 21 (Excellent… Martha Stewart’s One Bowl Chocolate Cupcakes makes about 22.) Check! These will be chocolate cupcakes with pink tinted vanilla buttercream frosting. YUM!
10 + 6 = 16 (Yay… Half of this moist yellow cake recipe makes about 18) Perfect! These will be vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. YUM! YUM!
Note: I doubled the buttercream recipe for each of these so I would have enough… especially for the swirly ones (made with the 1M tip).
But wait… that’s 37. Perfect for the cupcake tower, but I need 50. Not enough. (I got As in math, by the way.)
So I made another batch of cupcakes by halving this Easter cupcake recipe from a few weeks ago and a chocolate cream cheese frosting. I could have doubled one of the others, but I decided to make a third kind. That way I could have people choose their favorite chocolate one. I like feedback.
The night before I made the cupcakes, I made these cute little toppers. I tinted some fondant
pink and used my favorite set of double-sided graduated cutters
to make the shapes. These were going on the vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. They’ll really pop on white.
Then, I tinted some more of the fondant a dark brown. To get it this dark, use brown and then add some violet until you get the right shade.
For the crosses, I photocopied the invitation and scaled it down until it was a size that would fit inside of the pink shape when cut out.
Then, all you have to do is roll out the fondant and cut it in rectangular shapes that match the height and width of the cross. Mine are a little uneven, but no worries.
Because, you can make adjustments when you finish up the crosses. And all you do for that is remove sections from each of the four corners with a cutter until you are left with the remaining cross shape. Her invitation had edges that varied in width, so I used this tiny triangle cutter to do the job. You can just as easily use a square cutter and end up with evenly shaped sides.
Then, use a tiny dab of water on the underside of the crosses and attach them to the pink fondant cutouts. Easy.
Now I had plenty of toppers, plenty of cupcakes and plenty of frosting. But not plenty of room to showcase them. Remember, the tower only holds 36 and I now had 50 some odd cupcakes.
What to do? What to do?
Ask Martha of course. She always has an answer.
I found this beautiful display in my Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine (Spring 2009). They’re made of graduated hat boxes and wrapped with designs printed on card stock. Cool, huh. I got really excited and even thought about ditching the whole cupcake tower thing. She has very detailed instructions here. But, after reading, I realized they were for mini cupcakes. Nooooooo! And even though I got A’s in math, I didn’t feel like figuring out all the conversions to adjust. Yuck-o-rama.
So, I took her lead and went looking for hat boxes… in any size I could find. Which wasn’t many. I found big and round and that’s about it. So instead of stacking mine, I made two separate displays.
I think they came out super cute. If you look closely, the design is the same as the background in the invitation, above.
I copied the ornamental design and repeated the pattern on an 11X17 document and printed it out on heavyweight paper.
Then, I cut the paper horizontally in half in a wavy line that went in between two rows of the ornamental pattern. Does that make sense? Hope so.
Then, I trimmed off the outer edges since my printer won’t bleed the image to the edge of the paper and taped two of the pieces together to wrap around the hat box.
If I was Martha Stewart, I would have figured out precise measurements and made sure the patterns matched up at the meeting points, but I’m not and no one noticed that they were off by a hair.
Heck, no one even noticed that I used the pattern from the invitation. Bummer. I think I was more proud about that than the cupcakes.
And, ooooh, the cupcakes. They were so good. Especially these with the chocolate cream cheese frosting. But so were the other chocolate cupcakes with the pink buttercream… the cake was more chocolatey. It’s a draw, I guess. Notice the second set of fondant toppers I made… smaller and cuter.
Check this one out. After covered in frosting I put these giant chocolate sprinkles on.
A big thanks to my new friend Liz in Greece who sent them to me. I think they’re actually made in Belgium, though. Look how shiny and big they are compared to the normal chocolate sprinkles I usually find. They taste great, they come in a big box and they even have a handy pourable spout. I love ’em!
And, so did she. The sprinkle ones were her favorite. She was so sweet. She almost made me tear up when she said they were the very best things I ever made for her.… then she said… except the Halloween Cake Pops … and except the Easter Basket Cupcakes. Cute. I’m just glad I made her smile.
Now… who wants a Cupcake Tower? I know. I know. I usually don’t do two giveaways in a row, but I actually liked this thing a lot!
It’s simple and easy to use.
It stays nested for storage and it even tilts slightly to give a better view of the cupcakes. And best of all, it was only $20 bucks! Score!
I liked it so much, I want someone else to enjoy it with me.
So, I’m gonna give away three of them.
- Just leave a comment on this post and tell me your favorite cupcake flavor combination. I’m curious.
- Leave your comment with a way for me to contact you if you win (either a blog link or email)
- Deadline to enter is

Oh my gosh, all the flavors you guys listed are making me crave some cupcakes. I’d take any flavor as long as I can have one right now… even coconut. And, by the way, I’m glad to see so many of you love red velvet as much as I do. And cream cheese frosting. Yum! Okay, let’s see who won from the 3,986 entries.

keylime and meringue! vavavoom! good good good in my mouth haha!
My favorite is a yellow cupcake dipped upside down into a hot texas sheet cake frosting. I love how when the frosting cools, it has a nice sheen, hardens a little, and tastes delicious!
The cupcakes turned out awesome – I especially love the pink frosting. I also love chocolate with chocolate and chocolate sprinkles. Thanks for wonderful website.
By the way, Bakerella, thanks for that Martha Stewart hatbox tip, I’ll be needing that idea for an upcoming wedding! Your cuppy’s are so cute. Old fashoned chocolate with mocha buttercream!
Gorgeous cupcakes, you are amazing!! Yellow with white icing. :)
I love a moist golden cupcake with lemon curd filling, or carrot with real cream cheese filling, hint use a piping bag filled with your fave filling and just poke through your cupcake (-gently- please) squeeze in your filling. This is similar to filling a jelly doughnut!
You can never have enough chocolate – chocolate cupcake with lots of chocolate frosting! (I sound like my threeyear old!)
slinmn@yahoo.com
My choice of cupcakes here is limited, so chocolate or vanilla as long as its moist and light and LOTS of buttercream icing.
chocolate chocolate chocolate

I’ve been thinking about getting a cupcake tower! Your display was perfect. Loved the way the cupcakes and the darling pink paper complimented each other.
My favorite combo is strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream icing…I know you aren’t a strawberry fan but this darn cake is soooo forgiving and moist…I’m hungry now!

jenniewisser@hotmail.com
Ooooh, I love vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Also, I think Wilton makes a cupcake tree that fits 48 cupcakes, I could be wrong though! BLOG
those look absolutely DELISH. i totally need to make more cupcakes. i make a lot of buns (fairy cakes to most people, but my grandma is from Bolton in the UK and so she uses lots of Northern terminology) but they tend to be left without icing. my favourite buns are made with little cut-up bits of Bounty Bars; chocolatey AND coconutty! mmm! :)
myoldmansamushroom@hotmail.com
Do you people ever sleep? Look at the time posts. Wow! OK, my favorite would be chocolate fudge with chocolate hazelnut frosting. Yum!
I love Boston Cream Cupcakes!
I love chocolate cupcakes with chocolate mint buttercream. Anything chocolate mint is great :)
blue_eyed_beauty22 at hotmail dot com
my fav is good ol’ yellow cake w/ chocolate frosting.
HAGELSLAG!
How funny. Here in the Netherlands it’s just something to sprinkle on a slice of bread. They come it white-, milk and pure chocolate. With or without crisps, extra large…
Red velvet or coconut! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love a buttery yellow cupcake with chocolate frosting.
hnbutler@hotmail.com
Wow that turned out just beautiful! I am the same way I get nervous just before doing a project, but I seem to work better under pressure.
I would have to say my favorite cupcake is Red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Yumm
mdj9969@yahoo.com
As always thank you for sharing.
This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I am not great at cakes, but cupcakes I can do!! I love white cake with white frosting!! (of course decorated with color!!) mumcbc@hotmail.com

I LOVE chocolate and stout for sure, its amazing.
But I’d have to say, I’m a sucker for homemade chocolate buttercream and red velvet cake. mmmmmm
the pics are great
the cupcakes look great
i’m sure they tasted great
but what cracks me up is the baking anxiety :)
and martha would be very proud of your creative hat box…she would of noticed the pattern matching…we need more marthas in this world!!
my favorite cupcake:
strawberry with strawberry creamcheese frosting…yummy
My favorite flavor combination would have to be vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting.
I know, can’t get more boring than that!
I’m a white cake kinda girl, and I LOVE a chocolate mousse icing on top!
Your cupcakes turned out GREAT!
I LOVE how your hat box holders turned out!
I really enjoy orange flavored cupcakes with buttercream frosting! YUMMY! (Although, it seems to be getting harder to find the orange flavored cake mixes.)
definitely white cake with store-bought funfetti frosting =]
tiffanikuo@hotmail.com
Strawberry with cream cheese icing, yummy!!!
This cupcakes looks gorgeous!!
The combination of the ingredients are delicious!!
red velvet w/ cream cheese frosting!!
Lemon with Chocolate Ganache & Chocolate with Strawberry Frosting…those are my two faves. But really as long as they taste good, they can become another favorite easy.
Oh and good idea with the hat boxes. Thanks for sharing that.
This time of year, my favorite is strawberry, with cream cheese or buttercream, topped with fresh local berries. In autumn/winter, I love apple or spice cake with burnt sugar frosting.
Btw, I decorated for many, many years– a personal interest that turned professional– but had set it aside some years ago. Since coming across your blog, and now having a couple of young friends who love to bake, I find my interest renewed. I’m going to have dig all that stuff out of storage. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation!

Chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting as the filling. Mmmmm!
Those look and sound YUMMY!…
My favorite of all time was my mothers invention, applesauce cupcakes with carmel icing, and my favorite,that I make are strawberry margarita with Key Lime/Banana cream cheese frosting. OMG… now I must go make some!!!! LOL
Chocolate with any type of buttercream frosting topped with sugar to give a nice contrasting texture. I’m dieting right now, and it’s going to be difficult to banish the visions of all your frosted cupcakes. You did beautiful work as usual! Loved the Martha hatbox idea. P.S. I was Joycerella before I ever heard of Bakerella!
definitely chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing ^_^

I would absolutely love to win this tower – I am throwing a baby shower for my best friend in two weeks, and have all the components here to make one…notice I didn’t say it was all put together :) This one would look so much better!!
It’s a toss up, Lemon cupcakes with a lemon butter cream, or chocolate with a whipped cream icing (must have chocolate pudding center though! (was my favorite cake as a kid and now I love them as cupcakes ;)
I haven’t tried a great variety of crazy cupcake flavors but up until now my favorite is a plain vanilla cupcake with a few chocolate chips on the inside and peanut butter buttercream frosting. MmMmmMmMM..

Hmmm, I love ALL cupcakes… especially with chocolate. If I HAD to choose, I guess it would have to be the yellow cake and chocolate frosting. Yum!

cebbird@yahoo.com
I don’t think I’ve had any exotic cupcake combinations, but I really like lemon flavored frosting. Its fresh and it makes me feel like I’m not eating sugared butter and shortening. LOL
I’m inspired by you! I made some ice cream cone cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday to celebrate at preschool. I used my Pillsbury Baking cookbook for the Decorator’s frosting recipe. It includes a pinch of salt which I think makes it taste delicious. You can see it at my blog.
chocolate & chocolate!
