Filler: Cupcake box

I did have an actual post for today…but I’ve had to deal with some other stuff…soooo, it’s not ready.  But the post in progress amuses me…so, that’s something.

Instead, here are some cupcake boxes (or just one, but I made a set of three originally) that I made.  I didn’t make the cupcakes themselves.  A-pusher made them.  I just fancied them up so it was easier to foist off on people.

The box pattern isn’t mine.  It’s from the Silhouette store.  I’m too lazy/tired/other things to look up a link for you right now, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find them.  I am thinking about modifying the pattern to accommodate larger cupcakes the next time I need cupcake boxes though.

The one you see here is the raspberry/chocolate themed box as it was originally meant to hold raspberry cream stuffed fudge cupcakes.  I made a strawberry/chocolate themed box and a carrot cake/cream cheese frosting themed box as well.  But they are obviously not shown.

Obviously.

Have you ever played picture telephone or whatever it’s called?  I’ve seen it called several things.

Anyway, have you ever played?  You can get some hilarious results.  It’s a party game, of sorts, and it’s based off the telephone game, in which you whisper a phrase or sentence down a line of people and see how the message morphs as it’s passed on from person to person.  In picture telephone, the first person will write a sentence or phrase, and the next person will draw it.  The person after that will try and write down a description of the picture without looking at the original sentence, and so forth.  You can play in a big circle and everyone is always doing something.  Then when your sentence gets back to you, you can write down what you think the last picture was and see how everything has changed.

Here’s mine from last night:

Picture telephone resultsIt was one of the more hilarious ones.  Mostly because I always make a ridiculous and difficult sentence to draw.  Which I believe is key to the game.  Although sometimes it’s gratifying to see how well a message is preserved.  But also…kind of boring.
