When you run out of time....or maybe just too lazy.....

I bought this cute black stand at the thrift shop, hoping that these small bowls would fit - SCORE!


My thought was to use this for a "taco station" or to hold BBQ condiments in the summer...


...BUT...


....when my husband invited friends over at the last minute...


...I turned it into a "dessert decorating station"....


....I quickly baked up some cupcakes, put some frosting and "sprinkles" in the bowls...


...lit a "buttercream" scented candle....


...pulled out a few pretty dishes....


...and let our guests decorate their own cupcakes...


 ...everything was on my large tray...


...all they had to do was frost and sprinkle and enjoy!!


This made us feel like kids again....


...who doesn't like to pretty-up a cupcake?....


I am looking forward to using my thrift store find more often....


...OH, and the best part...


..the black stand cost only $1.59 !!
