Birthday Cupcakes

Karsten asked if he could take cupcakes to Gail's for his birthday.  He had a very specific request - he wanted Mario cupcakes, but not Mario on the top, Mario on the sides like the Mickey cupcake holders that Grandma has.  Got it - I needed Mario cupcake liners, I thought that sounded easy enough.  Not. True.

I checked a few places online that could get them to me quickly, I checked local party stores, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Target and Michaels. No one had Mario cupcake liners.  So, onto plan B.  I picked up some Mario stickers and set out to make my own cupcake toppers.  They weren't exactly what he asked for, but I was hopeful that they would be acceptable.

He was excited that there was a Bowser and Princess Peach cupcake.  We debated all the way to Gail's about who would get which of the cupcakes.


I'm happy with how they turned out - I think I'll make more cupcake toppers in the future!
