Last night's Invitations, Favors and Special Touches showcase at The Wedding Cafe was a lot of fun! Emi Ink debuted a couple of new products that were oh-so-sweet!

cupcake sleeves by Emi Ink + cupcakes by A Cake Life

I love the ability to add a personalized touch to just about everything and cupcakes are no exception! These cupcake sleeves are designed to slip around the outside of your cupcakes and you can choose from a wide variety of colors to match your wedding (or any other special event!). Emi Ink can do custom printing, too, for that extra special touch:

Clockwise from top left: "Happily ever after" with stripes, solid teal metallic,
custom printing with floral background, custom printing with text only

Kristin from A Cake Life generously donated these delish vanilla cupcakes with Lilikoi filling for my table display. I asked her to keep a neutral palette for the cake and frosting so I could show off the different  sleeves, but she offers lots of amazing flavors and design options to make your cupcakes a real showpiece! (Side note: if you want to become BFFs with people really fast, just share a box full of Kristin's cupcakes with a room full of hungry wedding vendors!)

If mini cupcakes are more your style, Emi Ink now offers mini cupcake boxes available in (almost) every color under the sun. You can finish it with a pretty ribbon or a custom-printed favor tag, but I think these adorable boxes are cute enough on their own!

Interior box insert keeps your mini cupcake secure + see-through window shows off the sweet treat hiding inside!

mini cupcake boxes by Emi Ink + mini faux cupcakes by Bit of Sugar

Because I had to think of a long-term solution for displaying my boxes, I asked my friend, Lei, from Bit of Sugar, if she could whip up a few mini faux cupcakes (made from deco clay) for last night's event. Lei also created the mini wedding cakes that I've been using as place card holders for my expo displays. If you appreciate anything that's "too cute for words," please check out her website here. If you're on Oahu, you'll definitely want to catch her at one of the local craft fairs this holiday season to check out her work in person!
