A friend recently asked me for the details on the Rapunzel cupcake tower I made for Julia's 4th birthday Tangled bash. So here we go...
I began by creating a base for the tower, which I constructed out of styrofoam and a wood dowel. A word of advice... hot glue and styrofoam DO NOT mix... waiting for craft glue to dry is a bore, but works so much better. After the glue dried, I simply covered the base with green scrapbook paper.
While waiting for the glue to dry, I whipped up my favorite vanilla cupcake mix and baked eight cupcakes without liners in a standard muffin pan. While the cupcakes cooled, I put the finishing touches on the tower base.
Once the cupcakes cooled, I stacked them in an alternating pattern of top to top... bottom to bottom...
I then decorated the tower with green frosting ivy and an inverted ice cream sugar cone coated in purple chocolate to finish it off.
