The cupcake base is the same as the pot from the Mixed Bunch Flower Pot Card I taught at last month's workshops. The top or frosting is an upsized version of the Cupcake Builder Punch, which I hand cut. I used the 1/2" Circle Punch to punch out €œsprinkles".

Last weekend was my daughter's 9th birthday and she had a cupcake party. Here are the invites that she made using this template...

At her party we decorated aprons with puff paint, played party games and decorated cupcakes. They had a fabulous afternoon.

I have certainly had my share of cupcakes over the last two weeks. Tomorrow I have a a gathering at my house for those who want to know more about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I have baked and iced some cupcakes for the ladies who will be attending.
