My inspiration for this came from Paper Crafts magazine. I don't have a large cupcake stamp but I do have a stencil book. So using scraps and my Cuttlebug, I put this together. I ran white CS through the CB using the Swirls embossing plate and then high lighted each swirl with Diamond Stickles. Wish you could see it irl. I wanted the cup to look more like the cups you bake a cupcake in so I used a post it note and Old Paper ink to make it look pleated.

I love it, what a clever idea all of it. Love the Cherry on top. The pleating is great and so is the swirled icing. I am a sweet freak, cookies mostly, and this is yummy looking.
