Festive Party Idea: Cupcake Bar

I attended an engagement party this weekend and was excited to discover they had a cupcake bar. 

​You can see how pretty the display was in the photo. There were little flags in the frosting bowls and paper topping dishes to inform guests what they were looking at. 

​Guests could choose from vanilla or chocolate cupcakes, just plain cupcakes. 

​The next step was to choose chocolate or vanilla frosting for your cupcake. If you are having your own cupcake bar, you could also use decorator bags of icing so you could pipe the frosting on fancy. 

​Once your cupcake was frosted, it was time for the goodies to decorate. You had a choice of ten different toppings.

I decided then and there, I wanted to have a cupcake bar at my next party. 

​If it's my birthday party, I could have vanilla, chocolate, and pink frosting. Pink (strawberry or cherry) would also be great for a baby shower. Blue if it's a boy!

​Here are some ideas for toppings/decoration: Sprinkles (multi-colored or single colors)
M&Ms
​Mini Chocolate Chips
​Mini White Chocolate Chips
​Reese's Pieces
​Colored Sugar
Shredded Coconut
Toasted Almonds
​Gummie Bears 
​Small Strawberries
Blueberries
​Whipped Cream

It is such fun to prepare something special for guests to enjoy!

Do you like having guests over? 

​Do you enjoy hosting parties? 

​Welcome Inn: The Art of Hospitality in Jesus' Name​ is so much more than a ladies Bible study on hospitality. It is more like a manual on preparing, decorating, manners, invitations, making people feel at home, activities, hosting parties and showers, ministering to guests, welcoming overnight company, being a guest, and throwing large events. Did I mention recipes? 

​Each chapter starts with a look at our Hospitable Lord and how He welcomes us into His home and life. As He lives in us, we have a spirit of welcome too. His love motivates us to open our lives and homes to say, "Welcome to my world!" 

​Welcome Inn​​: Practising the Art of Hospitality in Jesus' Name will soon be available at Amazon. The E-book is available at Currclick. The E-book is 236 pages long and every page will stir your heart to open your home and lives to others in a confident way.   

​God bless you and fill you as you reach out to others in Jesus' Name. 

Love, 
Meredith Curtis
