Strawberry Hat for Cupcake Costume

I love the Cupcake Cotumes! There are a variety of styles and makers selling Cupcakes this year! And there are quite a few EUCs available on Ebay! I got my start costuming with the Pottery Barn cupcake Costume and it will always be special to me.
I'm have noticed that many re-sale costumes are missing the adorable Strawberry Hat that goes with the costume. Which is completely the "icing on the cake"



I'm selling the Strawberry Hats! Visit my Ebay Listing!

Birthday Costume -- Cupcake Princess

Costumes are definitely not just for Halloween.  Beside the fact that my little girls wear princess dresses everywear they go, I think Birthdays totally call for costumes!
My daughter's 3rd birthday was a generic princess themed party.  I knew all the little princess friends would wear their favorite Disney character, and I wanted the birthday girl to stand out. 
This is what I came up with:
I did use a pre-fab tulle skirt for the 'frosting' but the rest of the dress is based on a simplicity pattern.  The bottom is pleated cotton for the 'paper'.  The top is 'Swiss Dot', meant to resemble Eurpean bakery papers.  She loved it!  She wore it for about 8 days straight!

You be the Judge

I stole this picture from Ebay, (left) someone selling the real potterybarn costume, actually worn by a real kid (not a stock photo.)     And the one on the right is my Costume Clever knock-off.
