These [cupcake cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smores-cupcake-cups) perfect for pimping your desserts.

They can be found on Paper Orchid but there is a problem. I am not sure if they can make any crappy [cupcake look awesome](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake), or if they would look rubbish with my [homemade attempts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-kipling-signature-collection-mixes)...

They are also just wrappers; in other words, you can't bake with them. You put them on after for presentation's sake. For that reason, I kind of miss the point, and at $12 for a dozen, I think they are too pricey for something that's not actually used for baking too.

I love them, sad yes, but they are awesome and I am a domestic goddess!
