Tiffany's Box Engagement Ring Bridal Shower Cupcakes

Be prepared for the many ohhhs and ahhhs that you'll get from these cupcakes presented in their Tiffany's-inspired box.

Steps:

1. For the Tiffany's box, I purchased a small favor box at Michaels Arts and Crafts Store and used it as a pattern on a blue rectangle with the words "Tiffany's Treat" that I created in my computer.
2. Since I couldn't find the trademark blue color (or rather, didn't have it on hand!), I found a photo of a Tiffany's gift box on line and right-clicked my computer mouse to copy the photo.
3. Then, I pasted the photo into a photo-editing program I have called Paint.NET and used the eyedropper tool to copy the color into the paint palette.
4. I made a large blue rectangle, copied that, and pasted it into a Microsoft Word document with the page format set as "landscape."
5. I used the text tool with a Times font to print "Tiffany's Treat," centered near the top of the rectangle and printed the image on to a sheet of white gloss cardstock. 
6. To make the pattern, I deconstructed the favor box by opening it at the side seam to flatten it out. 
7. I placed the box pattern on the blue image, traced it, and cut it out. (The flattened box was actually too long so I cut out 3 sides, front and sides, and then cut out the backside from another blue rectangle.)
8. I folded the blue box, as per my box pattern, and then used double-stick tape keep it all together at the side seams and bottom flaps.
9. Note: You could also purchase the favor boxes and cut strips of blue paper to wrap around the box, attaching the strip with gluestick or double-stick tape. Print "Tiffany's Treat" on the blue paper before putting it on the box or print the words on to a clear label and apply it to the front of the box. 
10. Cut white ribbon to fit around the top rim of the box and cut a skinny strip of double-stick tape to attach it. Tie a bow and use a small piece of double-stick tape to adhere it to the front of the box above the words.
11. Bake a batch of chocolate cupcakes in baking cups and dollop white frosting on top.
12. Place the cupcake into the box and set a costume jewelry ring in the frosting. You'll find rings in the wedding section of many craft and party stores.
