They are called Treat Wraps by Bakery Crafts and 48 of these cupcake wrappers sell for only $14.99. The best part is that they are reversible too so you get two designs for the price of one, both of which are just as cute as the other!

Recipe for Coconut Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Cheese Frosting
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
If you are looking for a recipe to make really unique but eye-catching cupcakes for your wedding, then you should bake yourself a batch of these this week-end.
This recipe comes to you from SimplyRecipes.com and guest author Garrett McCord had this to say about these cupcakes. "In light of that the cupcake itself is surprisingly light in texture compared to other coconut cupcakes. The coconut cream cheese frosting enhances the cupcake so each bite is just sweet and exotic, leaving whispers of flavor behind. It is, in my opinion, the ultimate coconut cupcake recipe."

Cupcakes at my Supermarket for $0.25
By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd
On a recent trip to one of my local supermarkets, Food Lion, I noticed some mini cupcakes on display in the bakery section and decided to inquire about them. I was told that six (6) regular cupcakes sell for $2.99 and twelve (12) mini cupcakes sell for the same price. So that's about 25¢ for each mini cupcake and 50¢ for the regular cupcakes. That's just $25.00 for 100 mini cupcakes that I can put on a stand and set out as wedding favors. That made me so excited because not only are they affordable they are delicious as well. Plus the baker would even throw in a discount if I ordered more than 100.
