I love cupcakes!

My cousin works at our local hospital, and she and her mom volunteered to create a Christmas tree for the Festival of Trees.  The trees are auctioned off to raise money for the hospital foundation.  They found a great idea here on Instructables, and created Christmas cupcake ornaments for their tree.  They were absolutely incredible and inedible! They certainly didn't look inedible though and fooled many!  Oh, and their tree was sold for $190!

My cousins were nice enough to have me over and show me how to make them.  Here are my Christmas cupcake ornaments.  They are too much fun to decorate and really not hard at all to make.

  The blue and silver ones were a special order for someone. 

One of my favorites! The "mints" are made of Sculpey clay.

Give them a try.  You'll have fun!

On another note, I have had some earthly angels come into my life.  For the past week I have been so overwhelmed with their generosity and kindness.  Because they have both been in my shoes at one time in their life-single mom, tough financial times- they wanted to do something nice for me, and nice is an understatement.  They have certainly made this single mom's holiday!  Thank you, my angels!
