last week i hosted a valentine cupcake exchange party...and it was so much fun! i had two tables set up for everyone to place there cupcakes on along with name tags for everyone to put next to there cupcakes, so we knew who's cupcakes were who's. i even had a big jar of valentine m&m's that the girls had to each take a guess at, as to how many candies were in the jar and who ever came the closet won the jar of m&m's to take home with them. i also had some light snacks placed in the kitchen for everyone to snack on. it was so much fun to get together with all these amazing girls, chat, snack on some food and 'oooh and aweee' over everyone's cupcakes.
some fun pictures. my friend elisa won the jar of m&m's...she did amazing at guessing the amount. she guessed 1105 and there were 1110. of course we were having so much fun, that by the end of the party i forgot to take a group shot of everyone who was there, so we are missing a few girls in the group shot - but none the less we got a picture to document our fun evening! love these girls!!
and hello! the highlight of the evening were all the yummy cupcakes! everyone was asked to bring 12 decorated cupcakes... talk about being creative and de-lish! there were some pretty creative ones...like ice cream cones and mash potatoes and gravy cucpakes and peas and carrots. too cute! and i can't forget all the chocolate yummyness! and my friend kelli's strawberry buttecream cupcakes...double yum! i made a chocolate fudge cupcake with mint buttercream and lots of mint chocolate/pink chocolate hearts.
we even had a little cupcake vote, where everyone voted for the "cutest cupcake", "most tempting", "best dressed cupcake" and "most creative". the four cupcakes that were choosen won a fun cupcake recipe book.
so at the end of the party everyone got to take a cupcake from each girl, so everyone ended up with 10 different cupcakes to take home. i love that everyone did such an amazing job on their cupcakes, it made it even more fun! the exchange was a huge success and i am pretty sure everyone had a lot of fun, i know i did!

Wow all the cupcakes look amazing!!! Sorry I couldn't make it, I had too much going on that night. I am glad you had such a good turn out and lots of fun too!
I have been waiting to see pictures of the cupcakes!! I'm so glad it was a good night for you all - and I totally think we should do this again. I was so sad when I had a conflict and couldn't come - but the pictures make me feel like I was there! (kinda ...) Love it all!!
Whoa- the mashed potato ones with the butter on top....what's the butter? AND...loved the veggies ones too! Too cute!
