Penguin Tower saves penguins

I searched for weeks for the perfect cupcake tower. I wanted something that was sturdy, easy to put together, resuable and affordable. I found it when I found the Penguin Tower. It's currogated plastic with pop-in grooves, four levels that you can customize to fit your cupcakes. So if you only need three levels for a hundred cupcakes, then all you have to do is remove one of the levels. I used my penguin cupcake tower for an event at Tory and Burch this week. Below is the picture of the tower. I only needed to use three levels. For $65, the cupcake tower was a smart purchase and all proceeds go towards saving the penguins.

Metal Cupcake Tower

Last month I purchased a metal cupcake tower from Walmart. It was only ten dollars and holds thirteen cupcakes. I like having variety when it comes to merchandise because all catering needs are different. I just opened it today and was very surprised at how small it was. It is the perfect size for minis so I lucked out. But if you are looking for a cupcake tower that will hold regular sized cupcakes, I would look elsewhere.

Cutest cupcake makers

Christmas is almost here. Yes, I know its three months away. But if you're like me and hate shopping during the bussiest time of the year then you're probably browsing gifts on online websites. (I hate standing on lines at stores.) So, being the cupcake lover that I am and Google lover, I googled cupcake maker and found two cute cupcake makers for my daughter who is twelve. I know, she could learn how to bake in a real oven, but I'm also an overprotective mommie. (That and the oven is my domain!)

The first cupcake maker I found was at walmart. It's by Girl Gourmet and is featured online as a bundle package because it comes with a ice cream sandwich maker also. And it's listed for only $30 for both. (Currently its sold out online. But I am sure you may find it on another website or store.




















I also found an electric mini cupcake maker. Its manufactured by Smart Planet and claims to make six cupcakes in just five minutes! Not bad. It's listed for $17 on some websites on line. If you take a few minutes and google it you can probably find it for less. Target and Walmart don't have this one. But I hope they get them soon. I want one!

Cupcakes for a cause toppers!

I'm so over joyed! I thought that maybe they were lost in the mail or maybe I was never going to receive them at all. But they did arrive! and they look beautiful. I just hope that I can find a spot to hold the event as I do not have a store yet. :(

Either way, delivery is available and free in orange county! Pre-order your minis and help this great cause!
