How to make a Candy Bouquet in a wine glass

Wine Glass Candy Bouquet

Tutorials

I've showed you how to make a Candy Bouquet in a party cup, but several of you have asked how I made the Margarita Jolly Rancher Bouquet. I've made so many candy bouquets out of several different containers.

 I've made Candy Bouquets out of soup cans, margarita glasses, party cups, beer mugs, Coke Can, metal pails, boxes, sundae cups, coca-cola glasses,  Cheerleader Megaphone, and now a wine glass. I wish I had a picture of the beer mugs - so cute and a great gift for father's day. Maybe, I'll make another one soon.

This tutorial is very similar to the how to make a candy bouquet tutorial, but it is a little different.

Supplies you will need....

1. Wine Glass or Margarita Glass - I used a wine glass because I couldn't find a margarita glass at the dollar store this time around.
2. Styrofoam Ball- Pick a size that fits your glass. My ball is 3"
3. Jolly Rancher Candy - I bought a large bag. You will have left over candy. You can use a different candy if you want.
4. Glue Gun - Not pictured but I use a mini low heat glue gun.
5. Glue Sticks - Not pictured but they fit my glue gun.
6. Knife - to cut your styrofoam ball.

DIY Steps...

Place your styrofoam ball inside your glass and cut off the bottom half. You only want 1/4 of an inch of styrofoam ball inside your glass.

I only had to cut off 1/4 of my ball. Place your cut ball aside.

 Fill your glass with candy leaving 1/4 of an inch empty at the top.

 Place hot glue around the rim of your glass. Do this step and the next step fast so your hot glue does not cool down.

 Place your pre-cut Styrofoam ball inside your glass and firmly press.

 Hot glue your candy on the styrofoam ball starting from the bottom. Do this one row at a time, working your way to the top.

 Once you get your ball covered with candy you are finished, or you can add some curly string or a bow.

 Simple to make, fun to create, and a great gift to give.

I would love to see how yours turns out :)

Tutorial: How to make Camo Cupcakes

Camo Cupcakes Tutorial
by Ashlee Rivera


Check out these adorable Camo Cupcakes my friend, Ashlee, made :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I made these cupcakes for my boys to give to their dad for Father's Day. I wanted to make a "manly" cupcake so I decided on camouflage.

You will need:

-1 box of yellow cake mix and the ingredients to make it

-Green food color gel

-Brown food color gel

-Cupcake liners

-3 mixing bowls

First preheat the oven to the temperature on the cake mix box.

Make your cake mix.

Separate the batter between three mixing bowls.

Now grab your food color gel and add them to 2 of your bowls of batter.

Once you have put the cupcake liners into your muffin pan start adding a spoonful of batter to each one and then alternate the colors. There is no wrong way of making the pattern.

Continue doing this until your muffin pan is full.

Bake for the amount of time given on your cake mix box.

And they will look like this!

 Camo cupcakes!

You can leave them plain like this or you can frost them. I will be frosting mine with chocolate buttercream! This is also a great recipe to let the kiddos help out with. They can help with spooning the batter into the cupcake liners!

Thanks, Ashlee! These look wonderful and I can not wait to try them!

Beer Bucket Cake. Father's Day Cake.

Father's Day Beer Bucket Cake

Cakes By Raychel

I made this cake for the Dad's in my family. My wonderful Husband, my Dad, my step-Dad, and my Father-in-Law.

I used real beer bottles for the beer, rock candy for the ice, and covered the sides of the cake in wood looking fondant.

Happy Father's Day 2011!!
