Cupcake Frills

I have been seeing some ads for those really nice cupcake frills, at prices of about $12.95 for 12 .
This is my attempt to do the frugal facsimile, after seeing the idea somewhere with a recipe. I cut the solid center section out of a paper doily, cut it in half, and formed a frill to fit the cupcake size. Fasten the raw edge with double face tape. Pop in the frosted cupcake. Although not as fancy as the pricey ones, I think they are quite pretty, and would be nice for Valentine's Day.
What do you think?
Now my hubby and I are going to eat them!

Oh, Millie, those are just so pretty, it's almost a shame to eat them! Thanks for sharing them with us. Have good week.

Blessings,

Victoria…and Me

To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
