I spent Saturday preparing, baking, and decorating, and delivered the cupcakes to the party that night. It was such a fun project, and I had a great time adding that aloha flair to everything.
These are pineapple cupcakes with coconut cream cheese frosting. I topped them with toasted coconut and put luau cupcake toppers on them.
The chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting had hula girl toppers and cupcake liners from this kit. They turned out really cute.
As a side note, Paper Style (the company I ordered the kit from) offers free ground shipping, and it is so fast. I ordered on a Friday, and received it on Monday. From GA. To CA. That's fast!
These key lime cupcakes were rolled in crushed graham crackers and I stuck drink umbrellas in them to make it look like a beach! I think these were my favorite decorations!
The party set up was a big deal! They had a bartender station, the catered food section, a Hawaiian band set up, and a place for my cupcakes. In addition to the regular size cupcakes, I also made each of the flavors in miniatures. Here is the final look of my table! C is to thank for making it look so awesome!
Needless to say, Saturday was a busy day. After we delivered the cupcakes, C and I went to a local brewery to watch the final quarter of the Jets/Colts game. I can't stand the Jets! But, hopefully next weekend the Patriots wipe that smirk right off Rex Ryan's face!
On Sunday, C and I watched the rest of Wild Card Weekend, and I made a yummy chili with turkey!
Other than that, it was a very lazy day and the perfect way to end a busy weekend.

The cupcakes look amazing, especially the chocolate/peanut butter! The beachy cupcake decorations are so cute. The set up looks fantastic and you did a wonderful job.
It sounds like the rest of the weekend was nice too. I was bummed to watch my Eagles get knocked out of the playoffs, but other than that it was a nice weekend.
Your chili sounds really good, especially on this frigid PA morning.
YUM! I want to try those cupcakes! I am hoping to make some chili tonight! Stay warm!
Your cupcakes ended up looking so great! I love the set up on the table - hope your clients could tell how hard you worked. I'm sure they tasted fantastic, too! :)
