BAKED TO PERFECTION (click here to go to article)

By Stephen Brown

The latest sweet tooth craze is taking everyone back to his or her childhood. Cupcakes are sweet, delicious and bite-sized, so eating one (or two) does not seem like falling off the diet wagon. The craze has gone from children’s birthday parties to the mainstream. Cupcakes are downright artistic at times, with designs and concepts that look so good it is almost (almost …) a shame to eat them. Here is a look at some of PalmBeachillustrated.com’s favorite cupcakes from around the area (in no particular order), and the reason we hit the treadmill an extra five minutes at the gym.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite cupcake or let us know if we missed your fave.

Aroma-Coasters Scented Mug Coasters for Halloween

daniele — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 20:00:31 +0000

Aroma-Coasters Scented Mug Coasters

These scented coasters are simple to make, and add a fun touch to any party or gathering where you are serving hot drinks! Each time a warm mug is placed on a coaster, your guests will soon enjoy the aroma of your chosen essential oil or blend hidden inside!

These coasters also make a fun way to share your favorite holiday oil or blend in an inexpensive gift.

Materials Needed:

Wood Circle or Shape: Many craft stores sell pre-cut wood circles and other shapes, or you can cut your own out of 1/8″ thick wood or plywood. The diameter of the shape needs to be between about 3″ to 3-1/2″ wide to be able to hold a typical mug. The wood shape helps keep any moisture off of the table.
Felt: Available at many craft or fabric stores. The felt is used to give color to the coaster, and also to hide the pad holding the essential oil.
Battery Operated Diffuser Aroma Pad: These thin pads hold the essential oil inside the coaster.
Essential Oils: Used to give your coasters a unique aroma. About 6-10 drops are needed for each coaster, depending on how strong the aroma is.
Other Materials: Sharp fabric scissors (to cut the felt); glue (white school glue works well).

Instructions:

	Trace the wooden shape twice on a piece of felt. Cut out the shapes you traced on the felt.
	On the first felt shape, trace around the square Aroma Pad. Cut the square out of the felt shape.
	Spread glue over the entire top surface of the wood shape. Place the first felt shape and aroma pad on top of the wood shape and press down firmly.
	In the second felt shape, cut a small hole that will go over about the center of the aroma pad. Spread glue over the top of the first felt shape (do not put glue on the top of the aroma pad) and glue the second felt shape to the top of the first felt shape.
	Cut shapes out of different colored felt (or other material) to decorate your coaster (if desired). Glue your decorations onto the coaster. If you use one of the decorations to cover the small hole in the second felt shape, be sure to only glue it on one side. This will allow you to lift that decoration to access the aroma pad.
	Finish decorating with paint, markers, glitter, etc. To use the coaster, drip 6-10 drops of your desired essential oil or blend through the small hole onto the aroma pad, pausing between every few drops to allow the oil to soak into the aroma pad. Place a warm mug on the coaster to enhance the aroma. If the scent begins to fade after a while, recharge the aroma pad with a few more drops of oil.

Extra Ideas:

Make fun gifts by placing Aroma-Coasters in plastic bags along with small vials of essential oil or blend to re-charge the coasters. Create a header-card to go on top with the scent used, and instructions on how to use the coasters. Include more information on other ways the included oil or blend can be used if desired.
Create a gift-set with multiple coasters, mugs, and hot-drink mix in a gift basket.

We had such a great time helping Allie and her family put together her Neon Bat Mitzvah!! All of her neon decorations, especially the glow sticks where a huge hit with the guests and people enjoyed looking through all Allie's photo memories:). It was our pleasure to be part of such a blessed occasion.

The Brunch menu had it all from Blood Orange Glazed Salmon Squares to Mac N Cheese Balls. We even designed a special White Chocolate Cupcake Tower with Chocolate A s on top.

Allie's Torah portion was beautifully moving and her singing voice was most impressive too. Congratulations Allie Everyone is very proud of ya!!!
