Kaitlyn and her mom, Kathy, had the greatest idea for a party give-away. Instead of handing out traditional goody bags, they made a platter full of pre-wrap cupcakes! ” I used these cupcakes for both of my daughters’ teams and everyone loved them,” Kathy said.

“Instead of giving out a sweet treat to celebrate my daughter’s recent birthday, we came up with the idea to make pre-wrap cupcakes. We stuffed white batting into the center hole and fluffed it up around the top of the roll of pre-wrap to look like white frosting. Then we used spray glue on the top to attach cake sprinkles to the batting. Lastly, we twisted a candle into the center. When they were finished they looked like real cupcakes, and the girls on my daughter’s soccer teams loved getting their own roll of pre-wrap.”
