Good idea and gorgeous.... but how they heck do they keep the frosting from slipping off?!

My frostings tend to be on the soft creamy side

Fun!

Do you have to make icing with shortening to shape the petals?

No Curious1, the chef at the CIA uses a Buttercream Frosting.

I forgot to say, having the cupcakes frozen, as suggested in the Video will help with the icing not

run....I would think. Here is a like to the CIA chef decorating cupcakes with Buttercream.

Cute but wouldn't use shredded paper, ick. Makes me think of getting hair in my mouth! Pluh,

Thanks so much for the link. I thought butter icing would have been too soft.

I thought the same thing!! I would cover the 'works' with kale and go from there.

It's one thing to have them flat on the plate and another suspended sideways! Pretty tho!
