Our adventures in cupcake tower making began with one very eager
"almost 10 year old"
I sketched a few drawings on freezer paper.
Love that stuff!
I started out with three circles
10" 14" 18"
Madison traced.
(check out that wild summer hair)!
I then cut some pedestal's and painted them in a white gloss.
I didn't worry too much about the edges because we will cover them up.
You can glue your ribbon with a hot glue gun but we learned very fast fabric glue worked best.
(the heat of the glue gun tends to warp the ribbon)
I think double stick tape would have worked best....
My mind started going in every direction.
1. Thanksgiving ribbon
2.Christmas ribbon
3 Cute Easter pastel ribbons
I think this cupcake tower will become a big part of our family traditions from now on :)
Then...
I found a hat box from Hobby Lobby that matched perfect!
Happy dance here..
This is what we have so far....
You can put so many twist to this idea.
I can't wait for special occasions now just so I can bring this baby out :)
Madsion is really starting to get excited about her party.
I am too!
This week will be full of planning..
hope you join us!
Susie & Madison
Fabulous, I can't wait to see what comes next. Happy creating!
ReplyDeleteCute as ever, Susie!!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great DIY project. I already have a cupcake tower for my daughter's upcoming birthday party, but I am trying to get into party planning and this will be so helpful in the future, I am sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Dear Susieness! Oh, how inventive and creative you are! This is great and you sure do know your way around a jig saw!! Love the ribbon you've used (looks a lot like what I used on my post today). What a cute little assistant you have!
ReplyDeleteYou just amaze me with all the things you come up with.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That turned out adorable! Great job ladies!
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the most ingenious ideas I have ever seen - especially if you made your own pattern!! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteOh my! How awesome! And it will take just the right amount of cupcakes to fill it...enough for everyone at the party and maybe some left over:) Hope ya'll have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is just fabulous!! Yay to you and Madison, what a team:) I love it. Hope you both have a lovely day ~ Tina x
ReplyDeleteOh, Susie, it's so much fun watching what you're doing with your baby girl. Oops, I'm sorry, your nearly-ten-year-old girl. She was a beauty at age five and now she's a beauty at 10! Just like her mom. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable. Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteThat looks really lovely. I'm excited to see the next steps!!!
:) Laura
What a great job you and Madison did!! This is going to be so charming with cupcakes on it! :-)

Love it!
ReplyDeleteHey Susie. Just love it when things like that come together. It turned out great. You two should be two very proud girls.
ReplyDeleteHugs...Tracy :)
Tre cute!!! That is just amazing and I can't believe you did it yourself. The box to have it sit on was ingenious. I agree, I can start picturing all kinds of fun ways to use this with different ribbons. Thanks for sharing this wonderful design. Nice to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteUmmm wow!! I am amazed lol. I wish I could do things like that. Looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, susie :)
ReplyDeletelooks fab, i bet it will look even better with cupcakes ;)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I can just imagine it as the party center piece. I love that your baby girl is right there helping, my girls are the same way.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see more

Looking good! Jackie
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have that same box:)
ReplyDeleteyou are so clever...you must have scored huge cool mom points for this project
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the cutest think you have done yet!! Love it and Madison is such a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteIs Blake Moss your nephew? I spent the week with a teen from our church who is his girlfriend and we are trying to figure out how you are kin?
How cute, it is gonna be the party of the year. Glad I am invited!
ReplyDeleteMy hair looked just like Maddies in the summer...and I loved it rat nests and all!
Perhaps my absolutely favorite part is that you did it with your daughter! And . . . it turned out fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMy "baby" will turn nine in 3 weeks, so we're party planning right now too. Thank you so much for sharing this, Susie. We're definitely going to do this - PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLou Cinda :)
Susie,that is one beautiful cake tower. I can picture it with a cake on top with lots of pretty cupcakes and petite fours on the other layers. You are so talented with the saw. Wish I were brave enough to try it, but that's one tool, I'm not allowed to touch. Hugs, Pat
ReplyDeleteAre y'all getting lots of rain? I know we are and I think we are finally going to have a few dry days.
Susie
ReplyDeleteThat is so adorable. Great job and I am sure your daughter is thrilled!
Sarah
Susie, that's SO cute! You are a genius at coming up with so many wood projects.
ReplyDeleteThat is so, so impressive! Thanks so much for sharing the details of this. I'll be linking.
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Finn's first Holy Communion cupcake tower coming soon (on Saturday) on a post over at my place! Although they would've looked fab and so much better on your stand!
You're sooooo 'uber' talented you know Susie! X
It looks GREAT so far!! I can't wait till I see it filled with cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I know what you mean about the wild summer hair! Lexi's also has stripes of green through it from the pool. I need to get rid of those green stripes since she has started play practice again!
LOVE it! And great idea to use that hl hat box!
ReplyDeletewhat a great post! I love the whole black and white and bling project and those cupcake holders are so glam!!! Wow, good job. Can't wait to see the finished project. I may "borrow" the idea in the future for my sister's wedding shower? :) Thanks so much for sharing
ReplyDeleteI love that your daughter being so creative and choosing things for her party. She is bringing her vision to life and that is so special!
ReplyDeleteI featured these on my Make It Yourself Monday page.

“You can see the techniques of the knit on this style; Bandage Dress one day we will videotape the process of how our pieces are made. Herve Leger sale They weave the base and then hand-apply everything else. And our fit is really key. Oktoberfest Dress These pieces are more like sweaters than anything else—they’re not cut-and-sew, Herve Leger Dresses they’re knits—and that’s why they fit so well. People are so surprised at how well Herve Leger fits, and I tell them it’s all about how the dresses are constructed.”And finally, we dress for what we love too. For what we just can’t resist. Lubov, a former dancer, is a big fan of movement, so for her that signals the fringe-trimmed bandage dress.
