What started out as whipping up a quick batch of cupcakes for my friend's birthday...
I thought and thought and thought about how to make them special and this is what I ended up with:
- I used a round box (I scrounged it at a restaurant, it held a brie wheel... yahoo, for recycling!), and put two layers of ribbon around the edge.
- Decorated the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, Belgium Chocolate (V-Chocolates), silver dredgees (from Orson Gygi), and sprinkles (by Ghuitard so they look good and don't taste like wax).
- I printed out the "happy birthday paula" and a bunch of words to describe her on the computer.
- I punched them out with circle punches and put them on skewers (for the tall ones) and toothpicks (for the short one).
- I tied ribbons on the sticks of the happy birthday signs.

You are so amazing the way you dress everything up and make even a simple batch of cupcakes into a treasure. I'm sure Paula loved it. Maybe if I read your blog long enough, I will pick up a little bit of your flare :-)
