Cupcake Tree I decorated for the Wedding


Cupcake Stands (cardboard)

I took this cardboard cupcake tree I purchased online for $29.95 at save-on-crafts.com (they have amazing things) and used modge podge, glitter paper and trim to make it match my daughter wedding colors. I used a stencil and white paint to add a rose. I actually plan on adding more and covering the holes that should not have been cut out :( I will update the pic when I can.

Alfredo Sauce

My Alfredo Sauce recipe is the Best! You have to try it.

1/4 C. Butter
2 Cloves of Garlic
8 oz. Cream Cheese
3/4 C. Milk
1/2 C. Shredded Parmesan Cheese

                       Melt Butter on Med. heat in a sauce pan, then add 2 cloves of pressed garlic.
                                      Saute garlic for 2 min. and then add the cream cheese.
 Warm cream cheese for just a bit, until it starts to melt, then add milk and whisk together, continuing to stir until everything is melted together and smooth. Then add 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese cook and stir over med. heat until melted and creamy. When you pull the spoon out, it should not be stringy.

 Then serve over any pasta. For this dinner, I used spinach and ricotta stuffed ravioli, I bought it at Walmart in the refrigerated section. It was a family size, cost about $6, which I thought was pricey for pasta, but so worth it. It was the best ravioli ever.
I also like to top with various things such as grilled chicken strips, or green onions, tomatoes and bacon bits. It is one of my family favorites.
