Cupcake Facewashers Gift Idea

I made these lovely little cupcakes as thank-you gifts for my sister's baby shower last year.

As it was her second baby, she didn't want a big party again, so we arranged a high tea with just a few friends and immediate family for her.  But, we still wanted both her and her guests to feel special, so we arranged some special touches to make the afternoon a little bit special.

We got these beautiful balloons from Spotlight:

And I made a little cupcake fashwasher and 'party pack' for each of the girls at the afternoon tea.

I rolled the washers tightly, it takes a little practice to get it right, but once you know how to do it, it is easy!  Just fold the washer a few times, and then roll it into a cupcake shape, and pop into a cupcake case to hold it in place.  I put these cute little clips on top, as the 'icing'.

And the little party packs?  They had an assortment of girly things, like sweet flavoured lip balm, scented soap, a scented lipstick eraser, and scented tissues.

And for the Mummy-to-Be, she got a cupcake facewasher too, but she also got one of my Nappy Cakes.

I LOVE giving Nappy Cakes as gifts, I have given dozens of them over the years.  Another cute way of wrapping a really simple gift, but that is a post for another day...
