I saw some adorable cupcakes on this website (Sugarbloom Cupcakes) and now if you go to flickr and type in “tall cupcakes” there are several people making these. I tried making one to see how long it would take, and even though they take some time I think there are SO many options!! It’s funny because the smaller the cake, the harder it is to do – weird I know…but in cakes, opposite world applies!
Anyhoo…you can just decorate them plain with fondant/modeling chocolate, or you can wrap them with some fun papers and ribbon to coordinate with a wedding or shower – they could be the party favors or individual cakes served at a reception. They feed about two people because you use three cupcakes, so they are decent sized. I might have to go to the store and look up some fun ideas for wrapping!! For small mini cakes like this, the wrapping/decoration would be key! I think putting them in little clear bags tied up with a ribbon would be sooo sweet!! It gets me thinking!! I have SO little papers/ribbons around here, so I just used what I had…but I just love the size and shape! The possiblities are endless!!
