Wish I could take full credit for the road wrapper, but I didn't make them myself. Bought them at <a href="http://www.nycake.com" rel="nofollow">NY Cake and Baking</a>. In terms of practicality, I found the wrappers less than ideal, though, at least if you have to transport the cupcakes. The wrappers do not taper the way a cupcake does in its liner; also, I think the wrappers could be a bit longer. Clearly, I made them work. The biggest issue was that I didn't have time to wrap on location (son's school), and the cupcake insert of my cake box for transport didn't accommodate the larger diameter of the wrapper, so the wrappers got jammed in and a bit mangled. But the cute factor clearly outweighed my own desire for unwrinkled presentation—we are talking about first graders, after all. They don't care about wrinkles. Thanks!

Nice job, Mom, hope there are rewards on the weekend for all your hard work. Not sure what I like more, the cars or the road!
