cupcakes, glue guns, paper cutters, cupcakes, cake mix, mixers, frosting, cupcakes, lollipop sticks, cupcakes, stickers, cupcakes, ribbons, and more CUPCAKES.. these were the only things on my mind in september as i prepared for maia's first birthday party. i wanted to make everything myself because it is such a special day for her.
so i made her cupcake stand.. after hours of cutting ribbon, burning myself with a glue gun and then doing it all over again i think it turned out nicely..
i designed and assembled cupcake toppers which we unfortunately didn't use..
i designed stickers for her m&m party favors..
and i made her a rice krispie treat cupcake with a little candy cupcake topper (made from a mini reese's cup with frosting)
the thing i took the most time on because i wanted to make it from scratch was her giant cupcake cake.. i made the cupcake liner from candy melts and the cake from a giant cupcake pan..
one practice session turned out great.. (from boxed ingredients though..)
when i made it all from scratch (cake & frosting) i didn't wait long enough for it to cool.. so although it turned out well..
it all melted when i cut into it! #fail!
this was the cupcake topper i ordered from etsy.. i loved it so much!
.. and when the big day came.. it all turned out just the way i wanted!
