Greetings from Cupcaketree!

Spring is definitely in the air and with that, we’re also having a burst of creative energy (one of the best feelings in the world).  If you’re one of those who’s not easily inspired to decorate, we’re full of ideas to help!

Cupcaketree Wrappers Our Cupcaketree Wrappers are really a lifesaver!  The paper wrappers are custom sized for each tier.  A great feature is that they can be painted with spray enamel or left the beautiful white .  Please Note:  Cupcaketree Wrappers only work with the Original Round Cupcaketree. Filling the Space If you’re the kind who likes to think outside the box, you probably want to find creative ways to fill some of the space in between cupcakes on your Cupcaketree consider: Chocolate covered strawberries (YUM!), Candies, Fresh flowers, Fresh Greens.         Ribbon Results Does the idea of trying to figure out how much ribbon to buy to cover the outside edges of your Cupcaketree really stress you out?  Well stress no more!  We have all of the ribbon lengths for EACH Cupcaketree size and shape on our website just for you.    Creative Cupcake Wrappers If you’re looking for unique wrappers for your individual cupcakes, check out our friends at PaperOrchid.com and Bella Cupcake Couture.com.  They have amazing products we know you’ll love!

Cupcaketree Chatter

February 24, 2011

Consider this your “inside scoop” on what’s happening at Cupcaketree.com – including exciting announcements, new products, trends, contests and advice on how to make the most out of your Cupcaketree.

Why use a Cupcaketree?

It’s Trendy!  

Cupcakes are here to stay.  They’re a unique way to incorporate any theme and impress your guests at weddings, showers, picnics, birthdays & anniversary parties, bat & bar mitzvahs and holiday parties.

It Saves Space!  

Cupcaketrees are the perfect solution for displaying anywhere from 20 to 300 cupcakes in a relatively small space.

It’s Green!  

Constructed of sturdy corrugated cardboard, the Cupcaketree is completely recyclable.  Can’t bring yourself to recycle it?  Re-decorate and re-use it at another event!         

It’s Easy!

Assembly only takes about 5 minutes and decorating is easy.  Check our decorating ideas.http://bit.ly/9jPIt9

FACQ (Frequently Asked Cupcaketree Questions)

How far in advance should I order my Cupcaketree?

Orders ship the next business day after they are placed. Normally we ship via UPS Ground but expedited services are available at checkout online.

How much does it cost to decorate a Cupcaketree?

That’s up to you!  A can of spray paint, 5-15 yards of ribbon (depending on the size of your Cupcaketree) and a hot glue gun or double-sided tape will do the trick.

There is a difference between taking a picture of something great and taking a great picture of something. 

Here at Cupcaketree.com we are fortunate to have so many customers happy with their Cupcaketree experience.  We see numerous “fan photos” of personalized Cupcaketrees every week and the majority of these photos are shareable.  This helps us add to our online libraries and gives our customers great new decorating ideas so of course we love it!

The down side is that we get photographs of Cupcaketrees worth sharing but the setting is all wrong.  What I mean is that the perfect cupcake display was set up in front of the fire extinguisher or the door to the ladies bathroom rendering the photograph unusable.   

The next time you set up your Cupcaketree think about the setting.  You have thought about every other detail throughout the process and deserve 100% success.  The ideal setting is clean and free from distractions because you want people to see how hard you worked and how it paid off.    

When you shoot the Cupcaketree take note to what is in the background that is moveable.  For example, set grandma’s walker to the side so it is out of the shot.  Perhaps the gal in the yellow dress could step aside for a moment.  If it is not intentionally adding to the artistry of the photograph it does not belong.

When all else fails […]

Well, the Food Network’s Cupcake Wars are well on there way and our Judy is addicted!  Here at Cupcaketree.com we have had fun watching audition video’s from some of our beloved customers as well as seeing their faces on the television.  Last night our friend Shelia at Frosting Inc. out of Bakersfield was on air and made it to the second round.  Jood was cheering for you, Shelia!  We hope this was a wonderful experience for you.  Cupcakes are here to stay!

Wishing you all a very safe, happy and tasty holiday weekend.  This week turned up so many clever  ideas for the Fourth of July cupcake.  There are recipies out there for simple fruit topped cuppies to ones that look just like burgers!  Now, that’s a sweet treat that even the manliest self-proclaimed “grill master” can take pride in devouring.  We are looking forward to a beautiful weekend here in south-west Michigan.  We hope to return next week to a mailbox full of colorful Independance Day Cupcaketree fan photos!

We would like to give a big thank you to Party Cupcake Ideas!  Our fellow bloggers featured our Cupcaketree blog as one of 50 Amazing Wedding Cupcake Ideas on June 28, 2010.  They did some serious work and gathered the best of the best for your cupcake curiosity.  I was so much fun browsing these beautiful blogs and getting fabulous new ideas to share with our customers here at Cupcaketree.com.  Keep up the great work all of you cupcake artists!
