Most friends would get you alcohol for your 21st birthday…tie a big pink bow around a bottle of vodka. My best friends got me a cupcake stand. With little pink bows tied to it.

Oh cupcake stand, how I love you. You turned my cupcakes into art.

Two years have passed and girls, don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE my first cupcake stand. But I’ve graduated. I’m in the big leagues now. Because for my 23rd birthday, I got this cupcake stand…

And no, it’s really not a chandelier…and, this is art in itself! (Don’t you feel like trumpets should be playing in the background?) Now I just have to deal with the pressure that my cupcakes will have to be as elegant and beautiful as the stand….and find some royalty to come over and eat from it. I’m in the new business of making fancycakes.
