My original intention with these cupcakes had nothing to do with the Twilight saga…
… and everything to do with the pretty Vestlihouse cupcake liners and chess mold
I’m thinking they would work for a Twilight themed party though.
One of my students, the talented Christina, made all the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes & icing, as well as all the chocolate chess pieces. Christina, you did an amazing job!

This vinyl chess board, the perfect size for standard cupcake liners, is from MegaChess.com and the bookend rook and knight is from my local Chapters store.
All the cupcake liners are from Vestlihouse. I bought lots of these to make my own cupcakes with, and more to give away to you!
One lucky winner will recieve EIGHT packs of 25 Vestlihouse liners, some of which are pictured here, perfect for your own chess cupcakes! (Or whatever you’d like to create =) CONTEST CLOSED.
