hello cupcake

this past week was a really good friend of mine's birthday {❤ b} i never know what gift to get people and i just end up in anthropologie getting them something i want for myself {and yes i usually buy two ...} so this year i am determined to really put more thought into my gift giving... after all isn't that what counts??? the birthday girl is a fabulous baker and one of the most vibrant people i have ever known. so i put those two things together and ended up with baking and colors!!!! i went to a local baking store {ny cakes west} and made her a "baked with love" box. knowing that she probably has all the basic tools i loaded up on fun funky patterns and unique little pieces to make her baked goods that much more special. when putting it together i repackaged everything in little spice jars {for the sprinkles} or clear bags for the other random items. lastly i wrapped everything up in fabric- so easy! no need for tape or scissors and it can be reused!!!
