a stick is 4oz and cup is 8oz
if you dont own a set of standardised cups, you can use any size of cup, as long as you maintain the correct ratios - i quite often use a pint glass, as it means i can measure in lbs, rather than having to do lots of little scoops

Hi
You need to put some sort of base in the pot eg oasis or polystyrene. You can then put cocktail sticks in where you want to flowers to go. Take the sticks out and poke in to the base of your cake and place back in the hole.
