Cupcakes, Cupcakes, Cupcakes! A Giveaway!

Ever since starting my blog about six months ago, I've had quite a few cupcake adventures! I've featured so many different flavors of them and have made so many cupcake wrappers along the way! Cupcakes are definitely my #1 sweet treat!

I've had hundreds of readers email me to ask for the cupcake wrapper template, while others email with questions on how to make the perfect frosting swirl! People seem to love them!

Cute Cupcake Wrappers

Cupcakes are just so beautiful and elegant, especially with personalized wrappers! Add a giant, soft-serve swirl on top and no one can resist!

For about two months now, I've been thinking about doing a Giveaway. I was browsing through kitchen store after kitchen store, looking for something cool to give away, to no avail. Nothing seemed cool enough or good enough. I can't express how much it's meant to me when readers comment or email to support my endeavor in becoming a Domestic Goddess. So, it had to be something good.

Then I thought: I need to stick with what I know. Cupcakes. And cupcake wrappers. Plus, what could be better than a hand crafted gift? =)

So, here it is:

TA-DA! Hehe. You're probably squinting at the picture and thinking "what the heck is that pile of junk and why would I want it??"

BEHOLD: it's all the stuff you need to make beautiful cupcake wrappers and beautiful frosting swirls! All the stuff hundreds of readers have been emailing me about! =D Pretty cool for a pile of junk, eh?

Ok, let's break it down:

I had some beautiful black and white patterned paper.

I turned them into 31 cupcake wrappers!

To assemble the cupcake wrappers and to fit it around the cupcakes, you'll need a heavy duty double sided tape. It's in a fancy, easy to use dispenser, no less!

And you'll need piping bags for the frosting, of course.


But wait! You can't make beautiful frosting swirls without my favorite jumbo-sized piping tip! So I thew one in! (You don't need a coupler. I never use one for my cupcakes. Just stick the jumbo tip right into the piping bag.)

You'll also need fancy craft scissors to make the beautiful scalloped edges. I've already cut the edges for you this time, so the scissors are for if you want to make them yourself in the future! Or if your cupcakes are a bit short, and you'd like to trim down the wrapper.


So one lucky winner will get this: Judy's Ultimate Fancy Cupcake Set! Everything you'll need to make beautiful cupcakes, from swirl to wrapper!
