Make Your Own Cake Plate!

With the CupcakeCamp coming up, I had to figure out how I'd display my cupcakes.  I have 2 cupcake plates and a cupcake tree but with the amount of cupcakes I'm making no way will that be enough.  So the other day I was browsing one of my fav stores The Dollar Tree!  I ran across a section of glassware and I saw some plates. Then later I saw they sold glass candle holders and DING DING DING a lightbulb went off in my head (yes, that's what it sounds like when a lightbulb turns on) and I thought I could use the two to make my own cake plates!

So I bought a couple candle holders and 2 plates and IT WORKED!
Check it out:

my stuff (hey what do you expect for $1 fine china?)

 Trusty ol' glue gun

 make sure its on tight, flip it upside down and push down hard for a few more seconds.

 and VOILA!!!!

how awesome is this? 2 cake plates for 4 bucks! and we all know cake plates are NOT cheap. Can't wait to take pics of all my cupcakes on them, frosted and ready to go!

I Love the Dollar Tree!

I headed over to the Dollar Tree today (one of my fav stores ever) and I picked up some goodies.
I love these polka dot pot holders! and as I was browsing the spices aisle, I ran into THIS gem! C&H Sugar N' Cinnamon. SCORE. This will be perfect for my Snickerdoodle cupcakes!!  Little things like this makes Sweet B a happy little girl :)
