The results are in...
The winner has been announced for the cupcake skewer contest over at Pizzazzerie...
and phooey!
it wasn't me. *sniffle*
(go here for the results and to see some of the other "fabulous entries")!!

But...
that means I can now share all of my entries with you. Yea!!!
Before I do...
let me explain my approach:

"Create something using innovative presentation & practicality".
Meaning...
I wanted anyone to be able to duplicate these, as well as make them easily consumable at a REAL party.
I focused on "out-of-the-box" presentation.
I didn't go for "fancy" artwork, etc.
I was thinking about my readers and how to inspire each of you to try your hand at making these.

There.
Ready?
First up...
my favorite entry...

• Oreo Cupcake Skewer •

LOVED using an oreo cookie as the platform & then topping it off with a mini oreo.
(The cupcake decor was inspired by Judy from my favorite cupcakery...Cupcake Delights)


a couple of skewers to gear us up for the upcoming season...


• a Halloween themed mini ice cream cone cupcake skewer •

These are SUPER easy to make...see this post.
I created a custom wrap for the cone & skewer - (easily adapted for ANY occasion)

• another Halloween one •

I printed "Boo!" onto tissue paper, wrapped the cupcake & tied with a bow.
(Again, super easy...anyone can do this and this can easily be adapted for ANY party theme)


And lastly...
• a little ladybug themed cupcake skewer •

Altering a regular sized cupcake liner adds a little pizzazz...
the possibilities are endless.

And really...
the whole cupcake skewer concept provides limitless creative thinking.
I'm so glad I participated in the contest.
A big huge thanks to Pizzazzerie for hosting it...
as well as a big hug to Bakerella for being guest judge.
My creative wheels have been turning because of it!
I can't wait to see more of the other entries as Courtney posts them...

Let's make it a great week everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

KEEPING IT REAL
I'm SO disappointed I didn't win.
(you might find me in the closet with a box of tissues).
No. I'm just kidding.
(not about the closet & tissues...only about the "SO" disappointed)
I'm actually devastated.
No. I'm just kidding about that too...
it was only a cupcake contest for crying outloud! right?? *a tear-laden wink*

Some of the photos are not visible ~ :-( Printing on tissue paper is a wonderful idea! Any suggestions as to making it go smoothly?

These are GREAT!!! I wanted to enter the contest too but I had NOOO time! Hopefully I can make some for my daughters bday. I love the idea of printing on tissue paper, I didnt think that was possible.. I thought it would jam the printer. Everything is FAB!
