Cupcake Wrappers I have never heard of cupcake wrappers before researching this article, but what a fantastic idea! I can see using them when we make cupcakes for the kids’ class. They fit standard size cupcakes, and add that special touch or enhance a theme without a lot of work on my end! I am particularly fond of the Heart Wrappers. My daughter has red food dye allergies, so Valentine’s is always a difficult time of year for us. What a great way to add a huge splash of red without the dye! |
