Cupcake “Wrapture”

I subscribe to Cupcake Journal, a fantastic blog on all things cake!  Recently Louise blogged about these ADORABLE cupcake wrappers by Cupcake Wrapture (which, is by the way, The Cutest Name for a cupcake company – ever!)  Cupcakes are cute enough on their own… but when you dress them up in fancy clothes ~ well… now that’s even better! 

From Cupcake Wrapture’s Lisa Mudrakoff:

Cupcake Wrapture was created when Head Designer Lisa realized that all those pretty cupcake liners refused to stay pretty once an actual cupcake was baked inside them..

Desperate for some stylish togs for her fashion conscious cupcake friends, Lisa reached for the scissors and paper and voila! Cupcake Wrapture was born

The wraps come in several styles, colors and patterns and are quite reasonably priced (at least I think so, for the design impact they give!)

Here are a few that caught my eye….

Project Wedding

Hello and Best Wishes to All!
I’ve recently added my “hat to the ring” on the fanstastic wedding vendor directory site called
 
Project Wedding
It’s got TONS of vendors listed for all catagories of services.
 
To my beloved clients, I’d love to have your review, if you care to…   The more reviews and better rating – the higher up the listing shows, thereby reaching more brides!
  So, a few minutes of your time would be greatly appreciated in helping to promote Glass Slipper Gourmet for the upcoming 2009 wedding season!
 
To my favorite vendors, if you haven’t already listed – check it out! 
If you have a listing, send me a link so we can “connect” on the site and promote each other!

Cool Paper Cake Toppers/Crown from Le Big Kiss

I came across this fantastic idea when I was browsing on Flickr and saw this cake on Wild Cakes page…

ivory and butterflies by Wild Cakes.

Isn’t it LOVELY!! 

The topper is a paper wrapper available to purchase at Le Big Kiss, made by English artist Tanya Short.  They sell for 35-45 (euro) and come ready made or custom.  The crown is a paper wrap in various motifs with embellishments of glitter, cystals, pearls/beads, metal leafing, etc.  VERY UNIQUE and special I think! 

Here are a few that I especially liked…

Best of the Bay competition!

Glass Slipper Gourmet is competing in the SFGate.com “Best of the Bay” competion – in the wedding cakes division!  How fun is that?!? 

SFGate.com is an online business guide that launched Aug. 4, 1008.  The site allows consumers from all over to browse the businesses operating thoughout the Bay, with a “Best of Rating” and customer reviews.  The catagories range from wedding services to dog walking to auto repair.  Business customers control the rating, giving 1-5 stars for service.  Listing is free for those of you who would like to post your own business – and there is a “voter request” form to advertise your listing.
I’m currently tied at 4th place and I WANT GOLD!!! 

Your vote is greatly appreciated and if you’d like to make a review/comment, that would also be great. 

Thanks so much, as always!

Wedding Paper Divas – beautiful invitations!

I found this site Wedding Paper Divas on a great wedding inspiration blog Life.Love.Lipstick that I subscribe to…. Both sites are well worth a peek!!

Love these invites…. I’m always suggesting that people use their invitation as a “jumping off point” for their cake (and other wedding decor) design.  So… I love to see the possibilities of what might come my way!

Some of my particular favorites from this company:

Mari’s amazing party props!

My new client and friend Mari does some outrageously gorgeous party decorations, props and interior design for her daughter’s birthday parties!  EVERY year she does this and has a new theme – carried out to the 9’s!  The party theme becomes the birthday girl’s bed/bath room decoration.  I’ve encouraged Mari to go public with this…. it’s that good!  I think it’s an inventive and creative service that many moms are unable to carry out themselves, but would love to give to their daughters! Take a peek~ (roll your mouse over each picture for a brief description).  Enjoy! 

 Mari made the banner, gift/favor boxes, and carried out the “Pink Polka Dot and Poodle Parisian” theme in every detail!

 

 

Custom screenprint tees – with each guest’s name

     

Sleep-over “party box” filled with fun and games!

   

And, each year the birthday girl’s room decoration is changed to reflect the party theme!  Now… THAT’S cool! 

 

    

 

And the BATHROOM!
   

I think these “bathroom ‘reminders’” are adorable!

LAST YEAR’S FAIRY THEMED PARTY:

 

    Every fairy party must have a DRAGON!

  

Cheers to ALL FAIRIES! 

If you are interested in Mari’s creations, please contact me for her information!
