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.

But I recently made Oreo Cupcakes, and even Look-Alike Hostess Cupcakes, and those were both to die for.
Truthfully, I don’t know that I’ve ever met a cupcake I didn’t like.
