frosted cupcakery

 

Over the weekend, we bought a half dozen cupcakes using a Groupon at Frosted Cupcakery in Long Beach.  I thought I would snap a few pictures before we dug into these beauties.  My favorite was the lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese frosting.  (From top to bottom: neapolitan {the monthly special}, strawberry with strawberry cream cheese frosting and orange with orange cream cheese frosting.)

flags

Flags are an easy way to add a little extra something to your cupcakes, sandwiches, whoopie pies, etc.  You can make them out of paper but did you know that you can make them out of ribbon, too?  You can see a couple of examples here and here.  Take a look at a tutorial from Peach and Pearl here.

more food description cards

These food description cards made for another party were a little more complicated and time-consuming than the ones in the last post, but well worth it!  I used the template from Paper Source's Butterfly Kit (reduced a little bit), brown floral wire and solid-colored paper.

food description cards

These were food description cards made with a heart-shaped punch, card stock and IKEA wrapping paper that I used in a tea party last year.  I loved how quick they were to make!
