Everyone knows the most important part of any party is the food. Just Artifacts makes that part so much easier for you with an entire line up of dessert buffet items. Today we want to share with you a couple of ways you can use the Just Artifacts supplies to spruce up your next party. Yellow and pink will be perfect for a bridal shower, a baby shower, or a birthday party!

The first one we have is cake pops. Have you ever made cake pops? They aren’t too tricky to make, you just want to be sure you have all your supplies on hand when you get started. For these cake pops we used two different shades of pink paper straws. We also got some coordinating ribbon. Use the straws to make the cake pops and when they’re done you just tie some ribbon toward the bottom with a single knot. It’s amazing what a difference a little ribbon can make! Since we made white cake pops we wanted them to stand out more so we displayed them on pink scrapbook paper. By using the ribbon and the scrapbook paper it made the cake pops look extra fancy!

For the cupcakes we used paper straws, washi tape, and cupcake wrappers. We decided to do double flags just to change things up a bit. We used two different yellow washi tapes with different patterns. We changed up which pattern was on top.

First, cut the straws to the desired length. Then wrap the two different washi tapes around the straw in the same direction. Cut the tapes how you want them and stick them in your cupcake. Finish it off by wrapping the cupcake wrappers around the cupcake. We did these all in yellow, but they would also be fun in different colors too.
