How to dress cupcakes in a hurry...

I recently was out of town and needed to put together some "pretty" cupcakes in a hurry.  Luckily I had a dozen Ribbon Rose Cake and Cupcake Toppers with me, so I knew just what to do...

Step 1:  I went to a local bakery and pleaded for 12 unfrosted cupcakes (they were very nice about it and gave me 13 for the price of 12 = ).
Step 2: I stopped at the local grocery store and bought two "cans" of ready made frosting.
Step 3: I stirred 1-1/2 cans of the frosting and scooped it into a plastic Ziploc baggie, zipped it up and clipped a small triangle from one of the corners of the bag.
Step 4: I swirled some frosting onto each cupcake
Step 5:  I added a little green food coloring to the remaining frosting and scooped it into another Ziploc baggie, zipped it up and this time I cut a very small corner of the bag off and then made a very small cut perpendicular to the first and piped what were supposed to be leaves onto the top of each cupcake.
Step 6:  I added the Ribbon Rose Cupcake Toppers and wah-lah...decorated cupcakes that were super easy and looked great!

The finished product...

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Some projects are just enjoyable from the very beginning...

Allison contacted me last week about a rush order needed for an upcoming party.  She had some of the flat and disk type designs in mind, which don't take as long to dry, so they were the perfect choice for a short lead time. 

Allison provided an inspiration board for her "April Showers Bring May Flowers" themed party, which was a great help for understanding her vision for the party...

Before I go on I just have to say, "I LOVE inspiration boards!"

After Allison and I finalized the toppers needed for her cake and cupcakes, I got to work.  Allison wanted the toppers to match the orange, yellow, green and pink of her inspiration board fabrics.  She wanted 24 flower disks and 24 umbrella disks for the cupcakes, and 36 cutout flowers for the cake.  The project was great fun to execute and based on Allison's inspiration, the following toppers were created...
The photos were taken in a rush in my kitchen, so the colors appear a little off, but you get the idea.

Thank you Allison for the opportunity to work with you to style your April Showers bring May Flowers event -- may it be a GREAT success!
