Here’s something special that’s impossible to resist

Love cupcakes and how they smell? How about your room smelling like cupcakes with candles that are cupcakes? What, where, how, when — you ask? Whitney DePaoli, who goes by the Instagram handle name @sugarandsparrowco, is a cake blogger and author who has DIY-ed something interesting. With ingredients like cupcakes, frosting, ganache, birthday candles and a few other knick-knacks, Whitney has turned cupcakes into candles that look like art. This batch is black velvet, looks quite Halloweeny or intensely romantic — and is perfect to put up on a special occasion. Don’t miss the ingredients list and a glimpse of the steps in her reel.
