Note

If you don't have a large platter, use a cake cardboard instead. Look for them in craft stores or bulk food stores. Cover with foil before topping with decorated cupcakes.

Serving Suggestion

Line cupcake tray with sky-blue paper before adding cupcakes for a perfect backdrop to the balloons.
