We Believe: New Beginnings....really cupcakes

Last week I was in charge of New Beginnings for Young Womens. Of course I was stressed about it because it's always stressful whenever you're in charge of things. I was prepared though and even though that didn't mean "I did not fear" it still went well. The decorations were cute, my talk went well, the girls did a great job on their talks/song. Everything was great!

But this post is really about cupcakes. We have a low budget this year so we went with cheap(er) and simple. The refreshments were cupcakes and water. So since it was just cupcakes I wanted them to be *fabulous*. As the post states the theme was "We Believe" based on the 13th article of Faith. That's a great theme-without any decorating ideas. So I went floral for everything (because that is ALWAYS a good theme-right?)

I got online and searched for cupcakes. At this link I found dainty little flower cupcakes shown below:
Then at this link I made these rose cupcakes (okay, okay-I put Tom in charge of these and he did a great job. )
Both of these were pretty easy really. Much easier than some of the other things I searched for. One tip on the rose ones-they were cuter when you applied unequal pressure to the two bags (if you read the link you'll understand) because evenly spread colors weren't as cute as say white tinged with pink or vice versa.

Am I ready to open my own boutique!?! Um...no, but I really enjoy doing things like this.
