Cupcake Doilie Skirts

Me and cupcakes. Best friends forever.

I know they have been a hot trend for awhile now and may one day soon be replaced by the bunt cake or rice pudding rage that is coming upon us, but in all honesty, don’t you just love cupcakes?  Even though they have just as many calories (or perhaps more) than a slice of cake, you just feel less guilty.  It’s a bite sized indulgence every woman deserves more than once in awhile.

IMG_8596This week while I was contemplating my BFF, the cupcake, I realized that maybe I needed to take cupcake decorating beyond just toppers. And so I did it and I loved it and now I am sharing. Without further needless wording that you probably skipped over any way, here is how to make these easy extra fluffs of fabulous to your cupcake.
You will need:
4 inch doilies
cupcakes
jewel stickers (completely optional)
IMG_8597Fold your 4 inch doilie in half being careful to only crease the center – not the lace.
IMG_8599Cut the semi-circle of paper inside the lace out.
IMG_8605Shimmy the doilie skirt up your cupcake.

You may have to cut more lace off depending on the circumference of your cupcake. Standard-sized cupcakes should fit the four inch doilie pretty perfectly.

Add bling if your soul desires. Mine did.

Eat your cupcake while chanting, “I deserve this. I’m fabulous.

Blog to you soon,
