Guest Towel Cupcakes

I got home from a long and tiring day trip to NJ last night, wondering what the heck I was going to do for a project for my Sizzix blog today. As luck (or divine intervention) would have it, there was an email from my friend Jonathan Fong, a fabulous designer, author and lifestyle expert I met at CHA a few years ago. Jonathan said that he had shot a quick video showing how to create this adorable Guest Towel Cupcake project in response to a call out for new talent from Oprah. She is branching out with her own network and sponsoring a contest in search of a TV host. So Jonathan’s video is his audition and he needs votes! Please go and watch the video to see how to make the cupcake… and while you are there, place as many votes for him as you can- there’s no limit! I love that he gives such easy instructions.

After I watched Jonathan’s video, I immediately knew what I was going to do for my project. I cut five ScoreBoard cupcakes in coordinating colors on my Big Shot with some washcloths that I had just picked up at Target.  I assembled the cupcake holders using my tape gun. Unfortunately, I did not have small red lollypops on hand (due to a severe Tootsie pop addiction). I know that somewhere in the far reaches of my Christmas craft supply area, I had some large red berries, but I decided the cupcakes were just fine the way they were (it was 2:30 AM). I made them just the way Jonathan said to. I also added a small rubber band around the cupcake washcloth so it stayed together.

The cake stand is made using two mismatched plates and a dollar store candle holder. I use E-6000 to adhere the candle stick and small plate to each other. Let dry for 24-48 hours. Stack this on top of a cool plate of the same color or general style and add your cute little cupcake guest towels!

    I just made one AND I had a red dum-dum lollipop to top it off! So cute. Loved the video you referred us to and I voted. How could I not? Just ordered your cupcake scoreboard 🙂 AND the extra large cutting pads, which I needed anyway! Can’t wait to play with the cupcake die AND my new teacup. It’s so beautiful, Eileen….you are amazing! thanks for sharing your great ideas and passing along ideas from other fab designers!

    So cute Eileen! My daughter makes the same thing with facecloths/bibs/onesies, etc for babies for shower gifts. She’s been buying the Wilton silicone cupcake holders to put them in, but this is a much better idea. She makes 4 each time, then puts them in a cake box and wraps it with ribbon. I’ll have to get her the cupcake die!! 🙂
