DIY Pineapple Cupcake In A Jar

Thursday, April 19th, 2012
No longer do people consider the wedding cake that only dessert that you can serve at a wedding. They are getting creative. We have a DIY project for a pineapple cupcake in a jar. This would be perfect for the dessert table. If you love fresh fruit, then you will love these ideas.
 
Materials:
 
1–Whole pineapple, package of strawberries or another fresh fruit of your choice
2–Mason jar
3–Fabric
4–Cupcakes
5–whip cream
 
Instructions:
1–Cut up fruit in chunk size pieces. If using blueberries then this step is not necessary.. Put it aside.
2–Take mason jar. Open it up and place fabric inside of the lid. I used hot glue to attach the fabric to the lid.
3–Gently place a cupcake inside. Make sure that it is standing up inside.
4–Put some whip cream inside of the jar on top of the cupcake. You don’t want to put too much so that the cupcake is no longer visible.
5–Sprinkle fruit on top.
 6–If you jar is deep enough, you can repeat this process with another cupcake.
Now you have a cute cupcake in a jar. Not bad for my first try!
 
also you can make:
PINEAPPLE CUPCAKE DESSERTS
Materials:
1–Batch of cupcakes.
2–Can of Reddi-Whip
3–Whole pineapple or package of strawberries or blueberries
Instructions:
1–Take cupcake and place on an even surface.
2–Place some Reddi-Whip on top. Don’t put too  much because then you won’t taste anything else.
3–Cut fresh fruit in bite size chunks. You can skip this step if using blueberries.
4–Sprinkle fresh fruit on top of cupcakes.
If you want an idea for your wedding that will look good and taste good also

DIY Eco Friendly Succulent Wedding Favors

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

Are you looking for unique ideas for your wedding favors? Would you like something that will be treasured long after your nuptials and not thrown in a corner? Well, I have a great idea for you. Why not give a plant?

Materials:
1. Succulents
2. Metal Pots
3. Roll of Twine
4. Scissors
Directions:
1–Take the twine and cut a piece that will be long enough to go around the neck of the planter and make a bow..
 
2–Gently take the plants out of their pots. You want to make sure that you do not disturb the roots or the plant itself.
3–Place the plant into the metal planter.
Even though our example is not decorated, you could put your names on it or something to represent the theme of your wedding. Have fun and be creative. Make a favor that your guests will treasure and will continue to live long after your wedding day.

Wedding Favors for Kids

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

Having kids at your wedding reception? Personalize some wedding favors for the kids. You can create custom goody bags or buckets. Fill them with toys and activity books. This will definitely give the younger kids something to do at the reception. They can color and play with their toys while they wait on dinner. If you know the names of all the children you can put their names on the bags. I prefer the idea of making boy bags and girl bags. This way all you have to do is let the guests grab them.

 

It can get time consuming looking through all the bags to find each child’s name. I think this is a great way to keep your young guests pre-occupied.
