When designing your realistic cupcake bouquets it is good to have these four elements included.  

Statement, height, intricate and textured flowers.

12 Cupcake Bouquet

• 3 Statement Flowers
• 3 Height Flowers
• 3 Intricate Flowers
• 3 Textured Flowers

I have categorised all of my buttercream flowers into these four elements to make it easier for you to choose which flowers to purchase.

Statement Flowers

These are your large flowers that are the focal point of your cupcake bouquets. I would only recommend having one variety of statement flower in your bouquet.

1. Because it is very hard to squeeze more than one variety of statement flowers into your bouquet structure.
2. Because generally speaking the statement flowers use more buttercream. More cost to you. Keeps your costs down.

Note: you always load your statement flowers last into your cupcake bouquet structure, so you don’t crush the petals as they are the larger of all the flowers.

Height Flowers

If you look at any real flower bouquets I would be very surprised if there wasn’t some sort of ‘height’ flowers in that arrangement. For example there will probably be eucalyptus, Buddleias, ferns.

Because I aim for realism, this is why I incorporate height into most of my cupcake bouquets. Again, I generally only put one variety of height flowers into my cupcake bouquet. I have been known to do two lots but I then get myself in a tizzy as to where to place them.

Intricate Flowers

Because you have the large statement flower and the tall flowers or foliage for height you then need to add some detail into the next variety of flowers.

This will include any buttercream flowers that have either buds, mini flowers, blossom or more than one detailed flower on one cupcake. For example mini roses with buds. Mini sunflowers, semi open tulips with buds. I personally always call these my busy cupcakes.

Textured Flowers

Best described at the buttercream flowers that look ‘fluffy’. You need to add some texture to your cupcake bouquets and the texture is a crucial element. It makes the customer almost want to touch them.
