Katy Perry Cupcake Dress Costume

My 10 year old daughter, Shalyn, wanted to be Katy Perry for Halloween. We saw her dressed in a cupcake dress that actually looked like real cupcakes on a cupcake stand and thought it would be cool to try to make it ourselves. I made the skirt out of cardboard and duct tape, then used spray adhesive to add white material. I made pink and silver ruffles and hot glued them to the bottom. I made 48 fake cupcakes out of cupcake liners, spray foam, paint, drywall repair, sprinkles and clay cherries. I used E6000 to glue them onto the skirt. We used suspenders so that she could wear the skirt. I took a white shirt and added pink ruffles and different colored puffy paint. I made tiny cupcakes and hot glued them to a headband using felt to hold them on. We bought a blue wig, white tights and she wore her black boots. Everyone loved her costume and people would stop her to take a picture. I was very happy with the way that everything came together!
