Thread the corresponding ribbon taped onto the balloon into the hole of the muffin cup and knot.
Here’s the time-consuming part… carefully place the cupcake into the muffin cup. It won’t be balanced! So be sure not to drop it. Move the taped ribbon up or down until it’s in the correct spot on the balloon to properly balance the cupcake onto the hot air balloon.
Once the cupcake is balanced and not tipping over to one side, tape the final ribbon around the balloon. This will hide your tape holding the 4 ribbons securely to the balloon as well as finishing off the look.
TIPS:
If your ribbon around the balloon isn’t smooth to the balloon then bring the ribbon down until it is. Bring the ribbon together at the back of the balloon.
If one or all of your 4 ribbons are sticking above the ribbon that’s around the balloon {in the middle}… here is a quick fix: add a second piece of tape on the long ribbon hanging down UNDER the ribbon which is around the balloon {to hide the tape}. Then cut any remaining ribbon which is sticking up.
