{Giveaway} $75 Shop Credit to the Cupcake Stand

You've made some yummy, gorgeous cupcakes and want to show them off. What do you do? Put them on a plate? Well, you could, but why not display them on a cupcake stand. This week's giveaway from Georgiana of the Cupcake Stand will make your cupcakes stand apart (pun intended).

In Georgiana's own words, "Like so many of you, I fell in love with all of the cupcake and cake shows on television these days. The more I watched them, the more I thought I would really love to do what they do. But who was I kidding! I couldn't even draw a good Happy Birthday on a cake with frosting! But one day I decided to give it a try and made my husband a birthday cake using fondant. I couldn't believe it! I did it and it looked great! So then I started making cakes for everyone, for any reason because I loved it so much. Everyone told me I should start my own cake/cupcake decorating business. So that's what I did. Shortly after starting my business I started looking for the "perfect" cupcake stand. I couldn't find what I was looking for so my husband and I created our own. The more cupcakes we sold the more people would inquire about purchasing a cupcake stand from us. So that is how Cupcake Stand was created! "

We are so proud to have created these cupcake stands that are worthy of the most special moments of your lives. We truly love our business and take pride in every detail. Customer satisfaction is our top priority! We thank you so much for being part of our "sweet" journey!"

Here are just a few of the amazing stands sold by the Cupcake Stand. Your cupcakes could be sitting pretty if you win our giveaway.

{Giveaway} $25 Gift Certificate to My Little Love - Sweet Party Supplies

Every cupcake deserves to be put upon a pedestal. Becky, owner of the online party supply shop, My Little Love, carries the perfect accessories for the perfect party! Becky just opened her shop and we are excited that she is sponsoring this week's giveaway.

She sent us a brief background about how her "Little Love" came to be:

Aloha Everyone! I'm very excited to share with you my new love. My name is Becky and I'm the adoring mommy to my newly one year old son Noah-Paul, and doting Aunty to my six year old twin niece and nephew, Lynea and Triton. I'm a stay at home mom born and raised in Hawaii. I've been planning and styling parties for years; I guess you could say I'm a party stylist! I started My Little Love after Noah-Paul was born because of course he is my little love!

In Hawaii, a baby's first birthday is a big event and I wanted to design and style a party filled with vibrancy, color, and lots of fun, fun, fun! Once I got started with the party plans, I had an epiphany..why not create a website filled with fun, vibrant, super colorful products for the party stylist in everyone, and most importantly, for the little loves in their lives? So, I set out to do exactly that and here we are.

Becky we are excited for you! Here are just a few fun items from Becky's shop:

Vibrant polka dot balloons

Rolls of colorful twine

Because your cupcakes should be on a pedastal!

Fun candles

Stylish cupcake liners

{Featured Parties} A Robo-tastic Robot Party

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto. (I just had to say that!)

We recently had the pleasure of working with Stephanie, the host of Sonoran Living, a TV Show that is based in Arizona. When she told us she was having a robot party for her son, we were thrilled to create a new custom robot collection.

Our sweet friend, Nancy, of A to Zebra Celebrations is a good friend of Stephanie and helped Stephanie style the party. The two made an absolutely excellent team and I am so excited to share the results!

The robot party was held at a private park and the children enjoyed the splash pad (FUN!) and included water activities, treats from an amazing dessert table and a ROBOT pinata....

The guests were greeted by a sign from our printable collection...

How precious is the dessert table!? I love how bright and cheerful the table feels with all of the colors from the collection - blues, orange, yellow, gray.... Read on for more details from the focal table...

Stephanie displayed the cutest robot lollis (bought from Oriental Trading!)

I adore the cupcakes and the wrappers remind me of little gears along the top!

Stephanie embellished treat containers and cupcakes with our printable cupcake toppers.

Cassie Selle of Cakes by Cassie made the cupcake tier for Stephanie out of wood and then Stephanie painted it and embellished with ribbon.

Check out that pinata! Nancy's mom has a custom pinata business and she made this pinata to match the printables! Amazing, right?

Also, the Robot cake pops (inspired by Bakerella's tutorial)

I love how she styled the table - adding fun DIY crafts like the circle robot crepe paper "flags". She used the printable robot from the banner and double matted it with cardstock and made a crepe paper fan for the backside.

Stephanie made the pretzels and Marshmallows literally right before the party. SO cute!

Another adorable shot of the table with that amazing pinata, fans and treat display!

This robot cake is amazing.... I just love the display, too! (By Cakes by Cassie)

Stephanie used our printable banner along the front of the dessert table. She layered the circle gears on top of cardstock that she cut with her cricut.

I also love the display of the chocolate bars - CUTE little robot enjoying his chocolate ;-) "Robot Power Cells" and "Computer Chips" printable wrappers were wrapped around the chocolates.

The birthday boy and beautiful mommy, Stephanie....

Stephanie made these bottlecaps for favors for the kids. She purchased them from an etsy store and embellished with a 1 inch punched printable party logo.

Perfectly fitting favor pails from Target $1 Spot.

A printable favor tag adorned these shiny metal tins...

GREAT job on this party, girls.

Just had to share a photo of he beautiful ladies - Nancy and Stephanie....

Domo Arigato! ("Thank you" in Japanese...) for sharing your beautiful party!

{Featured Parties} A Whimsical Carnival Party

I LOVE to share client parties and THIS one is one that really excited me!

Do you remember the precious carnival party that we recently shared from Jennifer Medina and Joanna Garcia, of the Houston based event styling company, Petit Delights?

Well, we were so excited to see another set of photographs from another jaw dropping carnival party that Jennifer recently coordinated (and Joanna photographed!).

They sent out an Anders Ruff customized "Clowning Around" invitation to invite friends and family to Aris' carnival birthday party.

Guests were greeted by a festive balloon archway and stilt walker, Roly.

Check out the amazing balloon clowns that lined the entrance as well.

Hello, beautiful day! The bouncy house is SO cute - perfect for the carnival.

Doesn't this look like a REAL Carnival?

Beautiful centerpieces styled by Petit Delights...

Now, one of the focal points - the sweetest dessert table!

Printable birthday banner from our Clowning Around Collection...

Aren't the balloons stunning!? There are balloons used in this that I've never even seen! The twists and swirls and sparkles and letter balloons! LOVE THEM!

Now, onto the treat detail...

Perfect cake pops..PERFECT!

I love how they used our printable party logos on the sticks! Creative! See, there are SO many uses for party logos beyond your standard cupcake topper, favor tag, etc.
