Some people are just so darn talented…
Here are a couple of posts we have picked up on recently with our lovely cup cake papers.
The talented photographer Rowe Timson captured Gabe’s first birthday with the most gorgeous photos. See our Carnival stripe patty pans on the elaborate table. What a beautiful party. See website for Rowe Timson here.
Also spotted are the lovely cup cakes by Madelaine. See website here.
She has used our Fairy Princess papers to make beautiful, beautiful cakes.
It is exciting for us to see our product and the personal ways people use them. If you have any images of our patty pans with your own creations, please let us know – we would love to share. - kate
