Why I’ve Been MIA

I guess I haven’t been feeling very fab lately because post baby, I haven’t had a moment to think about this blog.  Sorry for the lack of posts but I’ve been non-stop with the feedings, diapering, burping and sanitizing while in a zombie-like state thanks to a severe lack of sleep.  I think for the photo shoot shot above, I had a total of 3hours of sleep.

This video pretty much sums up my new life.

During this hiatus, you can however keep up with me through pinterest where I have 106 inspirational boards to share with you.  They range from home decor and fashion to fab fetes and fab kids, much like this blog.  More soon, I promise!

Fab Fete: Cupcake Caps

I’m a nut.  I just spent the last hour obsessing over finding the perfect cupcake toppers for my engagement party.  I recalled seeing these beautiful toppers in the form of Chanel quilting and felt the need to HAVE them at my party.

Of course it took me an hour to find them online because I had searched “cupcake topper”, “designer cupcake” and “cupcake tops” before finally searching cupcake cap and getting to my desired website cupcake caps!  They make any amateur cupcake baker like me magically transform into a Martha Stewart professional.  Just bake your cupcakes as you normally would, heck bake something straight out of the Betty Crocker box, frost quickly (doesn’t have to be perfect) then srew on a cupcake cap and voila you’ve got yourself a designer cupcake for only 1$ a cap!

Unfortunately, by the time I re-discovered the lovely cupcake topper site, I learned that the turnaround time for the caps I wanted was 2weeks, longer than what I needed for my event.  Ah well.

I did however, fall in love with a few other vendors along the way that I will now include into my favorites list.  Check out ticings, edible icing sheets that fit cakes or cupcakes and come in all sorts of holiday, special occasion and kids themes.  You can create your own logo or pattern too!


On a similar note, I found that I can add fashionable patterns sticker-style with edible prints.

Who knew baking could be such a piece of cake?
