Nautical Cupcakes

Nautical Sail Boat Cupcakes...

 These adorable Sail Boat Cupcakes were a hit this past Memorial Day weekend!  

I had so much fun making the sails that 

I think I'm going to recreate this look 

for an upcoming sailing day we have planned.

(Tutorial Included at the end of this post)

  

  

** (I made two batches, one with blue frosting dye to simulate water, and the other with plain white frosting)

  The sails were super easy to make:  

 Just follow the easy steps below

• All you have to do is go to your local scrapbook store
• Choose patterned and solid card stock in the color scheme of your choice
• Draw a sail template to use as your tracing pattern
• Trace the pattern onto your card stock
• Cut out your sails
• Punch two holes on each of your sails (one towards the bottom, and one towards the top of the sail)
• Insert a lollipop stick or sqewer through the holes (you don't need any glue)
• Trace and cut out a flag for the top of you sails using opposing colors
• Wrap the flag once around your lollipop stick or sqewer and affix with glue
• Tie a string of twine or rope around your sqewer, 
• Bake or Purchase your cupcakes, and add a sail to each one.  You can choose to dye your frosting blue to simulate water.  
• Dress up a pretty platter, and your guests will be ready to set sail away with these adorable Nautical Treats.
