Pastel Pushup Pretties!

Edited to add--Several of you have asked where I got the containers.
I do not remember. I know that I googled and
found a spot. BUT the good news is that we are
in the process of moving, so I still have the box!
I will look at the box when I get home from work and
let you know! I do know that I bought 100 when I
bought them. They are just that cute!!
Stay tuned for more info (should be on Tuesday evening!)
EDIT FOR THE WEBSITE********
FINALLY......I found my box and found the name of the website....It is
pastrychef.com
Hope that helps ya'll!!
 Over the weekend I made lots of these...
Lots and lots of mini cupcakes.

 In keeping with the springtime theme
I used a white cake mix and
a little colored gel....

 To make pastel colored mini cupcakes!

 To the mini cupcakes I
added lots of
squiggly buttercream icing.
And of course a bunch of sprinkles!
(Notice I did not bake them with wrappers.
The picture with the wrapper is for a whole
different dessert, but I liked the pic!)

 Then I put my decorated
mini cupcakes
into these little
push up containers
that I had ordered online.

 Don't they look cute as a
spring bouquet?

 Two mini's fit
perfectly
inside
the pushup.

 The pushups
come with a
nice little lid
as well.

 The possibilities are
ENDLESS.............!!

 Since they are all
enclosed,
they keep for several days
all neat and tidy.

 Not to mention
how well they travel.
I know that for a fact,
because I carted mine for
over 50 miles
with
no problems.

It all started with my
mini cupcakes,
and
an idea from Food Network.
Now my very own version
of
CAKESHOOTERS!
