Extra photos for bloggers: 1, 2, 3

There is only one thing better than a cupcake with sprinkles… a cupcake with sprinkles AND a personalized cupcake topper. That’s a fact.

Yes friends, store bought toppers are like, so 2001.

We’ll show you how you can turn your photos into fun fringed cupcake toppers.

Dig out the scissors, print out some photos, frost and sprinkle your cupcakes, and let’s get fringing!

Learn How to Make Fringed Photo Cupcake Toppers

WHY IT’S COOL

The great thing is that you can really go anywhere with this.

It’s your party and you’ll put your face on all the cupcakes? Grab those selfies and go for it, if you want to.

In the mood for summer? Beach photos!

Oh, how about the thousands of sunset snaps you are hoarding on your phone? You know what to do…

Ingredients:

  • Photos sized about 1” tall x 1.5” wide (printed double sided if possible)
  • Scissors
  • Skinny double sided tape
  • Toothpicks
  • Cupcakes, frosted and sprinkled

STEP 1: Tape

before

Stick a strip of double sided tape neatly along the bottom edge on the back of your photo.

STEP 2: Cut

before

Cut even, thin strips from the top of the photo to just before the edge of the double sided tape.

Continue cutting until the entire photo is fringed.

STEP 3: Get Ready to Roll

before

Remove the protective layer from the double sided tape and place the top of a toothpick at the edge of the photo.

STEP 4: And we’re Rollin’

before

Roll photo around the toothpick tightly and evenly until you get to the other end.

Press firmly at the edge so that there are no flappy bits, and the end is stuck down smoothly.

STEP 4: Zhoozh

before

Carefully fluff the fringe to create volume, until your topper looks ready to party.

STEP 5: Voila

before

Stick one or more toppers into a frosted cupcake and watch your friends exclaim their love for you.

Taking It Further

  • Roll multiple photos onto a toothpick (or even a satay stick) to create mega layered toppers.
  • Make your toppers shine by using a metallic paper at the back instead of double siding your photos
  • Use different parts of the same photos to make a set of toppers that all work together

CupCake Meet 10

02 Feb

By Junior Hernandez Finally, I was able to work on this video of CupCake Meet 10 which was held here in Dallas, Texas. Do to very little available time to work on this video I rushed in post so this video is not perfect, example, email address in it is our old one so it wont work. darkimageproductions817@hotmail The event was a first for me and to be honest, it overwhelmed me when I got there. It was so big that I did not know where or how to start. LOL One of the cameras was a Nikon D300s and when you record with a DSLR you really need a tipod which it was the only thing I forgot to bring with me that day. You will notice why I need a tripod in lots of the clips. I still need to learn how to use this camera for video but it is what it is. I hope you enjoy!! Special Thanks to TinoX Beatz & The Progress for the beat! Special Thanks to Tiffany Truong for making this event happen and everything she does it for!

cazillo.com I had way too many requests that I couldn’t ignore last week when I showed you my photos from Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas Nevada. So for all you that requested it…here you go! First, as always, we need to start with a good histogram and well exposed image. The first photo has very little contrast but a very good starting point. There is plenty of data to work with, especially from a RAW file, it just needed to be moved around. The second I thought was a complete goner. Unfortunately it was overexposed, skies almost gone with cloud cover and a histogram pushed way to far to the right. Check out the video to see how I created both of these images…enjoy!
