It's a Wrap!

A friend that I have known forever recently had a baby boy. She lives a good 8 hours away from me.. So I couldn't make her any cupcakes. Instead I made her some cupcake wrappers, and some cute little sock cupcakes to go in them. (They won't melt in the post!) And if she makes some cupcakes, she can use the wrappers again!

Cupcakes from the top. I think they were missing something..

A Ferrero Rocher Cherry on top.

In A Galaxy Far Far Away....

These were all made for a Space Themed 21st. The birthday boy was Chewbacca.
My camera decided to break on me just after I finished making them, so I had to convince all the people at the party to take photos so I could steal them. Thanks everyone!! :)
