Cupcakes: It's All About Presentation!

A good party always has a good dessert.

And a great party always has a great dessert display.

Let’s face it: part of the allure of cupcakes is how they are presented.

Kim at TomKat studios did post about how she decorates her cute cupcake stand, read it here.

I love how she adds patterned paper to the white stand. Simple, adaptable, and CUTE!

How cute is this idea, from Amy Atlas?

Endless possibilities for lettering with different types of parties.

This site shows how to build your own cupcake stand.
With this method, you can truly customize your size and colors.


Or this one: Check out the blog for instructions.


I have 3 white cake stands from Martha Stewart.
I love these, as they are stackable, but can also be used for a regular cake.
Here’s two of them, with a white ramekin turned upside-down to make the top layer. This picture is from a baby shower that I recently helped to host.


Rather than the decorating the stand, what about fancy-ing up the actual cupcake?

I love these adorable wrappers for a very special occasion.

Bella Cupcake Couture offers these beauties online and in some stores. Check out her site. I love the story of starting up her little company after being laid off in this down economy.

Here's another way to wrap up cupcakes:

They have white ones available too. So cute!

Phew, after all that, I need a cupcake!
