This seems to be the time of year for baby showers, wedding showers, graduation parties, going away parties and whatever else people celebrate these days. Instead of spending a fortune on a cake from the bakery or spending hours trying to decorate the perfect cake yourself, give yourself a break this year and serve cupcakes.<\/p>\n

Cupcakes are inexpensive and easy to decorate. To give your cupcakes a more sophisticated look purchase an inexpensive cupcake stand from JoAnn’s<\/a> or Michaels<\/a>. With a coupon one of these stands costs around $10 and you can use it over and over for different celebrations. Also, look for stands at yard sales, I’ve seen them for under $5 still in the box.<\/p>\n
