I’ll be sharing a sugar loaded treat today, my fancy decorated cupcakes! A friend was preparing for surgery so I delivered a box of cupcakes and a Paper Pumpkin kit to keep her busy while she is recovering. First, here are the cupcakes…
Bakery decorating is my latest hobby which I’ll share more about in future posts. I have struggled with container boxes while I deliver treats to taste testers because of their cost and storage space requirements. I finally realized I could make my own boxes. So here are the steps I used to do that.
From my ever growing stack of designer series paper backer sheets emerged a box bottom and a top. Place one backer sheet at a time on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and score at 3 and 9 inches on 2 adjacent sides. Four cupcakes fit perfectly in the center of the score lines.
The cut along score lines to make box tabs.
Form the box and adhere the side tabs with some tape. I opted to have the shiny side facing in which is also the side with the product info.
Line the box with tissue from the Wonderful Snowflakes embellishment packages. Cover the product info with your choice of patterned paper to coordinate with the enclosed gift card instead of tissue.
Carefully insert cupcakes and slide a lid over the box. The lid is created in the same manner as the box bottom. So they are a snug fit.
Tie some ribbon, add a hand stamped greeting card and make your delivery!

Stampin’ Up! hosted a virtual cruise in May instead of hosting us on a boat or resort. It was my first cruise earned in my 18 years and counting career as an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. So I was a tiny bit disappointed to not be able to experience it in person where I did not have to cook for a week;) Yes, you know I am foodie and make good meals and treats. But having to not cook for a week sounds amazing! Anyhoo…
We received a compensation payment along with a box of spa gifts including a spa robe, coffee mugs, candle, air pods and a product credit.
I have been mulling options for where to invest the payment and have opted to make a gift from my Stampin’ Up! business to my honey beekeeping business. This shiny metal cylinder was just picked up yesterday.
It’s a honey extractor which will allow me to bottle honey this year instead of selling cut comb. All that golden goodness in bottles is a pretty prospect! If you are local to me and want to reserve a bottle, click the contact button and let me know to place you on the list.
I had such fun gifting the crush and strained honey last year as shown in this photo.
Having an extractor will allow me to return the empty comb back to the bees so they don’t have to work so hard at making honey. This a full frame of capped honey which holds about 8 pounds of honey. The top wax “cap” is scrapped off. Then the frame is placed in the extractor and spun. Out flows the honey from bottom honey gate after it passes through a few screens.
My cruise payout is an investment that will help me grow my beekeeping and honey producing business at a faster and more productive rate. Here is a photo of the bees working the frames and building the precious comb that will eventually hold the nectar, bee babies, bee bread and honey.
If you are interested in seeing me work my horizontal hives and all the associated parts to growing an apiary, check out my Youtube channel, Beelog with Super Bee Shirley and BBS Bees through the video below. Gotta do something when I am not in the stamp room! Climbing into a hot bee suit is where it’s at! Thank you Stampin’ Up! for the generous payout!
