National Cupcake Day

December 15th is.......

National Cupcake Day!

 To celebrate this magical holiday, I popped open my handy-dandy book by Betz White called Warm Fuzzies.

Here's the short version of the tutorial.......
Use 3 sweater sleeves. Cut 2 rectangles, 4" x10". Fold in half and roll, creating a gradual point. Sew the end shut. Cut the cuff off the third sweater, fit it around, sew in half, cut off the excess, and stretch it over the cupcake. Cut out a felt circle, stuff with felt scrap, and hand sew around the edge. Pull tight and sew shut. Cut out a leaf, and sew both to the top of the cup cake. Place lace around the cupcake, and hot glue the ends. Cut out a final circle from matching felt, and hot glue to the bottom of the cupcake.

Time for a scrumptious cupcake and tea!

(There may be some confusion as to when the real National Cupcake Day is; this link should clear the matter up once and for all. http://www.tfdutch.com/foodh.htm)
