This fall themed cupcake tree was for our 10 year wedding anniversary vow renewal. It is a "small" tree. The cupcakes were home-made with alternating yellow and orange sugar flowers on top of each cupcake. A small cake on the top with a silk flower topper. Then fake silk Autumn leaves were thrown around the base with napkins.
We used a bigger one for a graduation party and had a small mishap. If you do not follow the step by step assembly instructions for the bigger trees...like the ones sold at www.cupcaketree.com you too will find yourself catching a leaning tree and falling cupcakes.
Tip: Wal-Mart Bakery will sell you cupcakes in plain white by bulk. Call in advance to find out how much notice they need. You can buy the candy/sugar roses in stores, online (sometimes called gum paste flowers), or if you are crafty make them.
