Exciting announcement! Michaels rolls out Paula’s brand new line of entertaining items!

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times, “It’s all about the presentation.”

Paula adores giving the gift of food to say thank you, get well soon, or even just to say, “Hey y’all! I was just thinking about you.” Her favorite part though, aside from sneaking a taste here and there, is dressing up her sweet little goodies in new and creative wrapping and packaging. That’s how you know it’s love!

Do you want to know the best part? Dressing up your food isn’t hard at all! After all these years of being told not to play with your food, and you finally have the chance. Making lasting impressions with your culinary confections can be just as easy (and fun!) as whipping them up!

Here are some easy ways to add a little playful pizzazz to your kitchen.

Try adding a brightly colored cupcake wrapper on your next batch of Blueberry Muffin instead of traditional tin foil liners, and share them with your co-workers for a little mid-morning office snack! Here, these jewel-toned wrappers perfectly compliment the deep purple hues of the blueberries.

Friends and family members alike will love a loaf of Homemade Bread, sweetly packaged in this precious breadbox. It’s even got a window so you can peek inside! Add a homemade card for an extra-special word from the heart.

Did someone say garnish? Perk up your next party with these delicate and delicious Old-Fashioned Cupcakes. Colorful cupcake liners with an endearing message set off the flower petals perched on top of these sweet little things.

Get a little personal with fun gift tags. These jars of Canned Tomatoes are the perfect way to say thank you with these eye-catching gift tags. Tie them on with a bit of twine for a real down-home touch. (Need help canning? Don’t miss Paula’s Canning 101!)

Paula loves getting creative with whatever she’s got laying around the house, or in any one of her craft drawers. But if you need a little help, all of these fabulous items from the Paula Deen Entertaining Collection (and a whole lot more, y’all) can be found at a Michaels craft store near you, the Paula Deen Store (1-866-95-PAULA), or in the Paula Deen Online Store!
