Welcome back to the paper bakery. That’s what I’ve got going on here these days.  Yummy treats, completely constructed from your beloved cardstock. Today we’re crafting up a batch of Hostess cupcakes just like the ones on the grocery store shelves, and just like the real deal I’m pretty sure these will last forever and never spoil. (Not sure what sort of preservatives they’ve got in those cupcakes, but they seem to stay fresh forever!)

  1. These are super sweet! Do you think there’s anyway to make the icing loops if you don’t have a diecutting machine? I would really love to try.
