SPA-SOCK CUPCAKES
Cupcake Supplies:
Spa socks, a fuzzy style
Rubber band
Solid decorative paper cardstock or scrapbook paper.
Scotch tape
Glue dots
Ribbon to coordinate your paper and sock colors
Buttons, sparkles, tags or whatever other bling of your choice
Cellophane cupcake bags
Equipments:
Paper cutter and scissors
Folded edge punch
Optionals: paper crimper
Hot glue gun or strong quick drying glue
Method:
1. Take out all tags from the socks. Lay them straight, one on top of another. Starting from the toe end, roll the socks, keeping the non-heel edge even as you roll. Tie a rubber band on the lower half of the sock roll to keep it safe. So, one edge of your sock roll will be flat; which becomes the bottom of your cupcake.
2. Now, using your fingers, pull on the upper edges of cupcake to make the edges of sock look like curls of frosting. In case, you pull the frosting too high, smash it down using your hand until you get the look you desire.
3. To prepare cupcake wrappers, cut scrap paper 2½ inches wide and long enough to circle up the rolled up sock and to overlap by an inch, generally 6 to 7 inches.
4. Turn and move the paper strip into a circular shape. Overlap the edges by ½ inch and secure with tape.
5. Place the rolled socks into cupcake wrappers and position it as per your liking.
6. Use ribbon and make a bow to be stuck in wrapper front. You can also use buttons, snowflakes, flowers or tags to decorate your bow.
7. Use cupcake toppers if desired.
Crepe paper ruffles, adorn these cupcake toppers. You can cut a strip of crepe paper and make a simple stitch through it. Pull and the strip would make pretty ruffles. You may need to trim it a little afterwards with a pair of your scissors.
As a final touch, locate your cupcake in a clear cellophane bag and tie its top with ribbon.
You can create your own cupcake toppers too if desire. Using buttons, bows or pom poms and toothpicks, you can also create toppers of your own design. You can even stamp images using ink colors. Another option is to buy online, you can get all these supplies at a one cake stop destination such as planet bake.
