Plus are the goody bags that I made for the Zombie themed party. The "bags" were bloody gauze (not real hehe) filled with body part candy with a stretchy skeleton tied on top with a zombie poem that I wrote!

Zombie Themed Party
Zombie Cupcakes! They were filled with strawberry jelly to make them "bloody" for all the zombies. Oreo Cakesters made the headstones and I cut the arms off skeletons to make the zombie arms. They glowed in the dark! In addition, I used a die-cut for the black fence that went around the cupcake to give it a real "graveyard" appearance. Finally, I made the cupcake stand out of a cheap cardboard stand, a glow in the dark brain, and some bloody gauze from the goody bags mentioned below.

Edible Arrangement...
Edible flower arrangement for Valentine's Day! It only cost me a few dollars to make and was very impressive looking.
Sweetheart Themed Party!
Little cupcakes and the "big top" cherry filled cupcake that collapsed on the way to the party! Plus the goodie bags I made filled with themed goodies for our social club!
