Frosting Recipes

Standard cupcake trees hold around sixteen cupcakes.  Some, like the Martha Stewart cupcake tree is collapsible, making it easy to store.  For big occasions such as weddings or engagement parties, cupcakes are becoming quite popular.   For a big event, cupcake trees can be seven levels or more and hold well over 100 cupcakes.

When you’re looking for a cupcake tree, keep in mind the number and size of your cupcakes.  Some cupcakes are dense, extremely large in diameter, and can place quite a strain on a cupcake tree.  This means you should be careful to adhere to any weight limits and not overload the tree. Ordering from certain bakeries or caterers, you might be provided with a cupcake tree, rather than having to find your own.  Otherwise any store with cake decorating supplies will have them.

Many cupcake trees look quite plain in order to showcase the cupcakes. But you can decorate your cupcake tree to match your theme.  Adding ribbon trim, colorful papers on each level and alternating cupcake flavors will make a stunning cupcake presentation.
