ugly boxes turned beautiful

Today is my friend, Charisse’s 29th birthday. (Happy Birthday, Reese!) We threw her a surprise party yesterday at my house. And she was actually surprised. Yay! And since I am the biggest cheapo eVeR, I took these boxes
Added some Mod Podge and paper and turned them into this Cupcake Cake.
I thought it was kinda cute….until I found out she hates pink. oops! :)
Is your mouth watering yet? :)

    I think I'm going to have to make cupcakes this week now. And how does someone NOT like pink?

    Well, I like pink! (My 2 daughters emphatically don't like pink, but would certainly overlook that for cupcakes) Looks yummy!

    That is great. If she had seen the boxes before she wouldn't have hated the pink so much. Great job!
