Easy Cupcake Presentation With Blue Hawaii Cupcake Recipe

Hi Everyone!True :D here.Welcome to day 5 of our "Recipe Swap and Food Packaging Week"!
For thoes of you who don't know, I create digital stamps and lately have been doing some fun cupcake wrappers. Bonnie suggested that I feature my wrappers during this special week, so I thought I would show you a very simple way to decorate and present a cupcake.This would be a great little gift for a teacher, mailman, paper boy, or just about anyone!
This is what the gift looks like all prettied up with Double Band Teal Satin/Grosgrain ribbon.

I simply put the cupcake in one of my digital "Snowflake Cupcake Wrappers", dropped it in a clear Dixie cup then down in a clear treat bag. Add a tag from the digi set and the pretty ribbon and you have a cupcake worthy of gift giving!

Here is my digi set.

It is available for instant download for just $2.50!

 I was very excited to see that Wilton makes blue snowflake sprinkles.

I have seen them in almost all stores I have been in lately!

This is what my cupcake looked like after a little taste testing. Mmmmm nummm yummy!

I wanted a blue cupcake to match my wrappers so I went looking for a recipe and found one called Blue Hawaii. While that recipe looks great, I wanted something a little faster so I came up with my own recipe made with a cake mix and added a few extra ingredients.

Here is my version of the Blue Hawaii cupcake.

True's Blue Hawaii Cupcakes

1 White cake mix prepared as directed using the egg white version.

Add the following:

 1 small can of crushed pineapple that has been drained VERY well.

1 cup shredded coconut

1 tsp. coconut extract

2 or 3 drops of blue food coloring

Fold to incorporate added ingredients then bake as directed on package.

Cool, then frost with pre-made Whipped White Frosting then sprinkle with coconut and optional snowflake sprinkles .

Yes, I cheated and took the easy route, but they sure turned out yummy!

Now if you'll excuse me...I have a cupcake to finish!  LOL!

Have a sweet day!

Hugs,

True :D

Yellow Assortment Pack

Hello Donalda here!

I was so honored when I was asked to be a Guest here at Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I have been a big fan for a long time and am truly a Ribbon Addict lol

I have made a few projects to show you today with the Yellow Assortment Pack and I after using the kit on my projects here I still have lots and lots of ribbon to use.

First up I have made an wooden purse for my youngest granddaughter. She is a little diva so this worked perfect for her. Here on the purse I have used some Diamond Satin Ribbon and have made a double tailed bow. I found the tutorial over at Becca's Blog and she truly is a Ribbon Queen.

Here is a side view of the purse.

Next up I have made a Hair Clip, I have used the Danielle White Crochet Lace on top of the clip and adhered it with a glue gun. Next I took some Moss Satin with Grosgrain Edge Ribbon and gathered it up and layered on top of the lace. Then I gathered up some Lemon Satin Swiss Dots and layered it on top of the Moss Ribbon. Then finally I added a bumble Bee button to the top of it.

For my last project I have made a note board for my kitchen to post some notes.

I used the Lemon Diamond Satin Ribbon to make a hanger, the yellow Flowered Ric Rac to criss cross on the notepad and I used the Yellow Gold Seam Binding to make my bow

Here is a close up of the notepad.

Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing my projects.

And I would like to thank Bonnie so much for having me today.

Big Hugs !!

Give Yourself Fully...

Hello, Connie here again! Happy weekend! :) I just can't seem to stop making these ribbon rose flowers!! If you missed my folded ribbon rose tutorial a few months ago, you can click here to see it again! I created the ribbon roses with some double banded stain/grosgrain coral ribbon and yellow diamond satin ribbon , and then added some moss satin leaf trim around the roses. All of these wonderful ribbons are of course from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!

I have used a sentiment from the newly released Serve the Lord set from Our Daily Bread Designs, and layered it on a lacey oval nestabilities. The DP is from Basic Grey and the gems are from Zva Creative.

I made this card for two challenges: this week's Shine the Light Challenge over on ODBD is super simple this week! Anything Goes!! I have paired this challenge with this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. Such a fun sketch for sure!

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!

Connie

Count Your Blessings!

Hello, It's Connie again!! For my card today, I have used some more of the wonderful ribbons from this month's ribbon of the month assortment: the Brown Leaf Trim and Brown satin/grosgrain double band ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store. I have to say...I so LOOOOVE the leaf trim...I have some in green also...can't wait to give that a try too!


My image is from the Full of Grace - Blessings set from ODBD. For the sketch, I decided to use the Mojo Monday #169. The sentiment was cut out with the labels 5 nestabilites with my Grand Calibur machine and then sponged with old paper distress ink. The DP is from Basic Grey's Curio package. To finish off the card, I added three flowers from Zva Creative sprayed with Glimmer Mist.


Thanks so much for visiting me! For more cards and projects with Really Reasonable Ribbon on them head on over to my blog!
