prep your skewer by wrapping with floral tape, now make your bamboo skewers table by cutting a round base out of any cardboard that's durable.poke a hole in middle and add superglue around bottom base to secure.your skewer is going to stick up enough to place your cupcake on..I used some chop stivks for the cupcakes" more durable" and regular skewers for berries. your basically making a table for them.
