Crafting something for your big day will not only give your wedding a more personal touch but it will also save you money (so you can have a larger dress budget, of course). A DIY bride will find this a simple project and something uniquely you! This Unity candle looks so much better than any store-bought candle you can purchase.

Materials

Pillar candle
2 taper candles
Transparent vellum paper
Ribbon
Glue dots Double-sided tape can also work.
Gemstone scrapbooking embellishments I used buckle slides and gem dots.
Scissors
Paper cutter

Directions

Step 1: Print your wedding logo horizontally on the vellum paper. Design a simple monogram with names and wedding date using Photoshop. Cut off about 1″ from the top and bottom of the vellum paper using a paper cutter.

Step 2: Attach the vellum paper to the pillar candle using a few glue dots in the back. Double-sided tape would also work for this project.

Step 3: Slide the buckle slide (you can find these in the scrapbooking aisles at your local craft store) on the ribbon and attach the ribbon to the pillar candle using a few glue dots. If you don’t like as much bling, just attach the ribbon to the candle minus the buckle slide.

Step 4: Attach a ring of ribbon to the taper candles using glue dots, and add crystal scrapbooking embellishments to the candles for a little more sparkle.

Step 5: Determine if you need a hurricane vase for an outside wedding.

Step 6 : Enjoy your wedding day!

My obsession with cupcakes is getting to be comical at this point (maybe i should just write a cupcake blog lol) Cupcakes are growing up and I am so proud to see what they have become

One of my new followers on Twitter has the funnest idea about cupcakes……. I happen to love kits that make life simple (even though i really do love the decorating…….. one of these days i will learn gumpaste flowers cuz my roses rock!!!)

So you want to have a fun spin on your wedding shower?

How about a treat to celebrate the upcoming football season (this is when i tend to bake anyway……… stay away from the TV lol)

But since we are in baking mood (for me, that would be ALWAYS!!!) lets talk about a great option for a Halloween Party… Show up to any party with these and I guarantee you will be the hit of the party! (who will care if you even dress up?)

There are so many more listed on Cupcake Cuties and the kits are perfect for 2 Dozen and all you need are cupcakes!  The rest is in the simple and complete kits!

I saw this on http://www.mycakeschool.com/blog/ice-cream-cone-cupcakes/!!!!

You know how much I LOVE cupcakes, so when I saw this I knew i had to share it.  I cant wait for a chance to make this! Perfect for winding down the summer at party or a birthday celebration!

Go crazy and make them your own.  The wilder the better!

First, cut notches out of some waffle cones so that once flipped, the cones would lie pretty flat on my cake board.  It’s best to saw your cones with a serrated knife.  It’s a little tricky, but not too bad

We could have used one wide board but we decided we liked the look of three narrow ones better…

Confetti sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, & toffee bits for decorations.

That’s all there is to it!!  Three tall ice cream cones for a total of 16…but wouldn’t it be fun to make a super long cone the length of the picnic table?  Maybe another time….   But for now, these happy little ice cream cones make me smile…  :0) —
