Wow, Mimi needs to take a chill pill! I suspect she is a fire victim the way she so strongly reacted.

I think this is a cute idea, especially with your disclaimer (which is common sense!)

Keep up the great work! :-)

Ummm – Heather – If one were to “use caution and common sense” as you suggested, then they would not even think of trying this STUPID idea.

For Kudzu – I had to laugh at the way you wrote, “IF something happened to get too hot…” What a polite way to say “If your home catches on fire …”

Do you really think that having people around when things catch on fire (or “get too hot”), is some sort of guarantee that there won’t be damage to property – and more importantly, damage to people? Why on earth would anyone purposely put their home, their family, or their friends at risk like that?

Do you know anyone who has lost everything that they own in a fire? Do you know anyone who’s been seriously burned in a fire? Do you know anyone who has had a loved one killed by a “little” fire that got out of control? I do! If you don’t, then I suggest you take a tour of the burn unit at your nearest trauma center or major hospital. All it takes to start a huge fire is one tiny little flame or spark.

Trying to cutesy up something like fire by calling it “getting to hot” shows either tremendous stupidity or extreme immaturity. Your foolish naivety makes me sick!

i think it’s a cute idea :D it would really dress up a party. of course the lights would be seen by you and everyone, so IF something happened to get too hot, it’s surely going to be noticed and quickly taken care of :D i just bought some cupcake papers for a baby shower i hope to give, and this will be adorable!

@Mimi, thanks for the input. Like I said, use caution and common sense when doing this project.

I think that comparing cupcakes in the oven with these is silly. Of course the ones in the oven don’t catch on fire – they are not in direct contact with the heat source and they are filled with a liquid (the batter). Even at the end of the baking cycle, there is plenty of moisture left in the cupcake. Have you ever overcooked cupcakes? Trust me, if you leave them in long enough they (and the wrappers) will blacken and burn.

Leaving these un-insulated papers on a bare bulb is just begging for a fire, and is nothing short of stupid. This irresponsible post is a really asinine idea that could leave you liable for the disasters of others.

We should try some construction equipment lights for a special birthday party.

I love the home decor projects. I want to decorate my home but I have such a small budget that the items pretty much need to be homemade!

How cute! I’ve done similar projects to this, but never thought of using cupcake liners!!
