Cakestand Extravaganza Cupcake Edition

Itty bitty bites of heaven.  Small bits of happiness.  I heart cupcakes.  So lets celebrate proper displays.  Yes, the first option is just to cluster them on a plain, regular cupcake stand. Probably the best option for parties.  But what if I ran into the cupcakery to grab a few or even just a single, icing topped minicake of perfection?  Does this not deserve the same attention to detail as its larger brethren? Do you leave that poor dear in a box? Although, most of my single cupcake purchases never make it to the car...if they, by some miracle, make it home, surely I would display it in prestigious manners such as these:

These babies are on their way to my house, but don't worry, she has more.  I picture a minicupcake in all its teeny glory...Set of 2 Miniature Ceramic Plates by MiniatureSweet

Cupcake plate by Michelle Miller at Cakespy (found via Dirty Laundry) The next trip to Seattle to visit the inlaws and these will be mine...

Cupcake stands, set of 6 by farmhouse wares and yes, I have these, too.

What about a sherbet dish, put the cupcake in the bowl or flip it over.  How cheerful are these colors?

Its chilly here, cold actually. The snow finally melted, and then it snowed again, not much where we are luckily. I have been flitting again, I think I do everyday. This time I found a new online store with all sorts of goodies. Origincrafts.com has lots of lovlies that are filling my wishlist. Some things are even handmade. So many pretty glass jars and cloches. Not to mention pretty wire and galvanized items.

handmade lazy suzan - yeah, it spins. This would be perfect for my mini cupcakes at the shower, but alas, at $99 it is out of my price range.

so pretty, so french. fromage sounds so much prettier than cheese. what do the french say when taking a picture? no really, I don't know.


I would love a whole row of these on my kitchen island, if I had one.

It's striped, it's beautifully neutral and btw it's OILCLOTH. Perfect.
