Where did you get the template from?
CommentAuthorRaggedyAnne
I can post a link on your wall, the template is on there, I think you have to maybe print it out. But I reckon you could get the cake case......the one you cook them in and cut the bottom off, then make a slit and then spread it out but not flatten the pleats..., that should be the right size i reckon.....

I've just sent it to my sister. She is obsessed with cupcakes and is having a 21st party later in the year.
Noticed on the page you can dye them to pastel colours with food dye, or a spray can lol. Put them on at the last minute though as they are sometimes a little flimsy.

Well I printed off the template and made a case, but to be honest it wasnt the best fit..... So by far the best method is to cup open a cake case that you will be baking the cakes in, and remove the bottom, then cut along it. cut half an inch bigger to allow for sticking it down. Its better than a template because there are differetn sized cases, so this way you get the exact size you want for the cases you're using, I have large muffin cases becasue I want to make big ones......
cut the cake case open but dont flatten the pleats, and remove the bottom. This is your template. Now just lay it on the doiley as evenly as you can. You actually need doilies around 11-12 inches, or you dont get the correct curve.

I wanted to make my own cupcakes but the stress of your wedding, you must have nerves of steel. I paid £75 for 24 cupcakes to not have the stress!! Expensive as I charge a lot cheaper. Good luck x those cases look fab
CommentAuthorSam
what a great idea! I always thought you had to buy them specifically, I love that there is a diy alternative
