Cupcake envy
My son (33) is always complaining because he never gets any of the "fancy" cupcakes i make for special occasions using the decorating books by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson. I live in Texas (my DD and family live nearby) while he, DDIL and DGD live in Pittsburgh.
Well - for Easter i went out on a THIN limb and made the flower cupcakes and mailed them to Pittsburgh. I packaged very carefully -- but thought i might have an epic FAIL on my hands when they got there. NOT SO !!! My DDIL sent this photo showing 1 of the 3 boxes i sent ....and all the cupcakes made it in very good condition. Hope my DS will be happy now when he sees/eats them.[ATTACH=CONFIG]515583[/ATTACH]

I then boxed them with packing material to keep the cupcake boxes from moving around and sent them priority mail.
These are done with mini marshmallows on top, but most frostings get a surface on them after they sit a bit, so you should be able to do the same thing without the plastic wrap sticking to the frosting.
