Check out the frosting on these banana cupcakes. Super smooth and creamy, cream cheese buttercream … so delicious and creamy. Did I mention creamy? I also used a little added yellow to tint the otherwise cream colored creamy cream cheese frosting … you know, just to enhance the senses. I’m tricky like that.
Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Banana Cupcakes
Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
Party them up a little bit with small pastel colored confetti sprinkles … just because it’s that kind of day.
But, these banana cupcakes need something else… something to keep them company.
A little friend maybe?
Yes definitely.
But my little monkey needs a friend, too.
So this little piggy and teddy joined in on the fun.
And so did my favorite martian, robot and bumblebee.
My head is actually going to explode from all this cuteness.
Could these be any more adorable? Look at that bumblebee bottom.
Why yes, yes they can! These cupcake toppers are also candleholders. I’m officially in love here.
And it gets even better. They want to be your friends, too. Not these, they’re mine. All mine.
But these could be all yours.
When I bought these cutie pies from the Lollipop Workshop on etsy (also be cheery on flickr), I bought enough for two more sets. And I want two of you to have one. Well I want all of you to have them, but I only have two sets to give away. (Martian and Robot colors may vary from above.)
All you have to do to enter is give me some advice.
You see, Lollipop Workshop also sent me something else … A surprise … when she mailed the cupcake toppers.
I’m 10000000% certain it will be crazy cute!
It’s in this box and I haven’t opened it yet.
Why?
Because she also sent this box for my little helper. So sneaky and sweet of her.
So the question is…
Should I wait until my niece visits again so we can open them together?
Should I rip open mine now and show you what’s inside?
Should I open both of them? I could re-wrap ’em and no one would be the wiser.
But I do like surprises. Hmmmm… tortured by sweetness.
Okay, so you know I’m really gonna wait, right.
But, I’m just curious – what would you do?
- Leave your answer in the comment section below and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a set of assorted cupcake toppers from Lollipop Workshop.
- Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win.
- Deadline to enter is Tuesday, August 18th at 5 p.m. TIME’S UP!
- Two winners* will be picked at random and announced sometime Tuesday evening on this post.
*Winners will be chosen using the random.org integer generator.
Good Luck!
And, here’s some more cuteness from Lollipop Workshop. Custom cake toppers, lollidolls and candleholders. The store sells out quickly when she adds new products, so just send her a message if you need a custom order.
Okay, Time’s up and here are the two winners
#1619 – Elle
#831 – The Pettit Family
Congrats! You’re getting some super cute cupcake toppers!
You should definitely open them together but hopefully it's not something that will spoil?! You may want to plan a get together SOON with her! I'm sure she will be extremely excited!!
I know you should wait for your niece, but if I were you, I'd just have to open it! That way you could get an idea of what would be in your niece's package and you can still open her present "with her".
If you want to open them with your niece, I'd hide them away in a closet so you wouldn't have to keep looking at them! That would make waiting more bearable.
I would wait and open them together. I'm dying to know what's in them!!
madlyinluv26@yahoo.com
You'll both have a great time opening them together, especially if you share that this surprise is waiting for her. She'll be just as excited as you are! Shared anticipation makes it easier to not rip the darned boxes open with your teeth!
climberchic_98@yahoo.com
Even though it's torture, I would probably wait for your little helper to visit and open them together.
You have to wait! Have to!!! You'll be so happy that you did.
open yours!!!
stacy_matson@yahoo.com
I would wait (but that's me). Many people I know think I am crazy and wouldn't even bother to ask.
WAIT! But make sure your niece knows what torture it was for you to wait!
:)
I would wait! Hard as it may be, it would be special to open them together!
Definitely wait……..Tanya in LA
I would wait. I'm a waiter. My husband thinks I'm crazy. Every time we get a thank you note or card in the mail for the two of us, I wait until he is home before I open it. I think these types of things are so much better when they are shared. Plus, I would want him to do the same for me..by the way-he doesn't. :)
duh~I can't enter if I don't leave my name,but I only have hotmail & my comments aren't ever accepted????
I think you should wait! Hide them in a closet until then and you'll forget all about it! :)
Call your niece to come over!! It's summer, isn't it? I think she'll have some time to see her lovely aunt.
You don't have to exactly wait… but you two should definitely open them together. It's so much more fun!
Hmm, you could take a peek!
I was so sure that monkey cupcake topper was actually a cute cake ball! hehe!
I think it would be the most fun to open them together,if you can stand the supense! I was JUST talking to a friend about banana cake less than 3 hours ago,serindipity!
Carefully open your nieces gift only so you have an idea of what yours is, but not for certain. You'll go crazy still not knowing what yours is, but make educated gueses. Then re-wrap hers and don't open yours. Then when she comes over, you can open them together and both be surprised.
ohh, you should wait for your niece! think of how excited she will be! you can do this, yes you can! =)
mahirazk at gmail dot com
The easy answer is…
don't wait for the next visit, go and get your niece NOW. Then both of you can rip them open immediately!
tawnya (at) onewaystreet.com
I would wait until my niece came to visit to open them both, but I would probably end up eating both lollipops. She'd never know :P
nfabry71@yahoo.com
Oh as much as I would want to open them, I think you should wait.
wysocki.julie@gmail.com
I cannot contain my curiosity like the others… :(
I would definiately open one and save the other for your little helper~
Kellie C.
i would SO want to open mine first!! but, if i were her, i would have wished you waited for me to do it together….so wait! =)
I think you should wait :P
Yours is yours… I would open it!! But hers… I would save until she can open it herself.
<3 the adorable candle holders!!
You asked what I would do? Well, I am sneaky and HATE surprises, but I am also a good actress soooo….I would caefully unwrap them, then rewrap and open again when my niece was there and I would act VERY surprised. LOL, but like I said, I'm sneaky like that.
amvillani@comcast.net
Afraid I am the waiting variety. I would have to wait to share the fun!!! These are the cutest things ever, I think I need some! Can't wait to see whats in the parcels!
Wait but tell her to come right over.
sjjaowasso@sbcglobal.net
You should wait, ofcourse…
Oh I think you should wait…well, how long will it be until she comes to visit again? There might be something that you HAVE to open now ;) But overall, I say wait.
I'd like to be able to say that I would wait but I would be DYING to open that package . . .
I agree with most of the other posts, you should wait, it's more exciting for both of you that way.
I'm a big fan of Lollipop Workshop, so I'd find the temptation hard to resist. However, I'm also big into making ever moment extra special, so I'd make a nice little tea party for my niece and I, culminating in the opening of the gifts.

P.S. I've linked your blog to mine, as you're one of my absolute favs!
Wait for your little helper! It'll such a great surprise for the both of you, just make sure to post pictures ASAP! =]
Rip it open!!!! Just go for it!
I think you should wait and open it with your neice!
Definately wait. There are too few wonderful surprises in the world to share. Let it be a special moment…says the girl who tells everyone what they got them for Christmas in September!!!
Jessica@zevion.com
I would be sneeky and open them, just to wrap them back up later. That way I know but it'll still be a surprise to the other person ;)
Laura
newangelwings07@gmail.com
I'm super curious about what's inside the boxes, but maybe you should wait to open it with your niece. She'll give you a bunch of hugs and will be more excited to open it with you!
I say call your little helper over to your house ASAP, so you can open them together! The suspense would kill me, but it will be worth it to wait.
I think you should wait…although my inner child says rip into your package! My official vote is to plan a special visit to her house so you both can enjoy the gifts as soon as possible! :-)

Open the one that she sent you now, but let your niece open her own gift when she visits. However you should totally go ahead and post pictures of what is in your gift:)

I'd wait and open them together. It will be so much more fun that way!
I'd like to say that I would be so patient and what for the cute little helper so that we could open our gifts together. Yeah, that would be so awesome! However, the reality is that I have always been (and still am – I shamefully admit) a peeker. I would probably rip mine open, show EVERYONE, then carefully peel hers open and sneak a look at the contents, then carefully re-wrap hers and find new paper to re-wrap mine (because while I just couldn't wait, it will be fun to watch her face as we open them together).
So my advice, don't be me. But if you are like me, please post pictures! ;-)
Merideth
ncflaggs@ctc.net
no instant grad here – wait!
I would probably just open my present now, and then see what the other one was when your niece came over. But we all know that's not the way to do things! You definitely have to wait. Which means we'll have to wait too… ugh! Cute cupcake toppers too! You always find the cutest stuff.
Invite her to come over NOW!!! :) I would have a hard time waiting, so… just invite her NOW NOW NOW!!!
Wow! Talk about Cutie McCutersons! I must have them!
But as for the presents, if I were certain I wouldn't be caught I would open one. To make sure the contents were appropriate for your niece. Yeah, that's it.
robandpamw@hotmail.com
Wait and do it together… but get her over there PDQ!
Ohmigoshhhh! Adorable! <3 I especially love the bumblebee!
You should wait for your niece. It'll make it more memorable to open them! ^_^
But as for what I would do… I would ravage mine open. o.o
ooooh, it'd be hard not to rip in and open them up, but i think since the giver asked you to wait, you should wait and open them together. :)

I would wait for your niece to come over again. It would be a special memory for the two of you.

Wow those cupcakes look super cute. Even though I would be tortured day after day I would wait until you niece comes. It will be more fun and exciting that way. Thanks for the chance to win the toppers.
wait for your niece…no! go get your niece now so you don't have to wait any longer!!!
douglas.connie.ward at gmail.com
I think you should wait, it is more fun to open gifts with someone else. It might be super hard but just hide the gift somewhere where it wont tempt you =) Oh and remember where you hid it so you can open it with your helper!
You should definitely wait. You're niece would love to know that you endured such temptation just so you can open them together and make her feel special =]
I would wait, but it would kill me. After all, isn't that what delayed gratifiaction is all about, killing yourself with the anticipation.
As much as very one want's to know what is inside a suprise box you should wait for your niece to come just so you both can be suprised on the gifts you got.
And if you did open them and re-wrap you will feel guilty and not be all "suprised" when re opening them. :]
P.s. good work on all your cakes/cupcakes.ect., I look up to your desserts! I hope to make it one day like you.
cupcakeduhx3@yahoo.com
I'd wait.
Holy Cow! That's a lot of comments!! How are you going to only pick two?
I made your graduation hats kinder graduation. The moms loved them!
I would wait, as hard as that will be, until your niece comes again. Hmmm…I would at least TRY to wait. :-)
oh my gosh how cute are those?? and those cupcakes looked and sounded amazing! i'm going to make them this week!!! i would wait and open the gift with your niece, i bet she would love that and feel so special!
Sarah
handygirl698@yahoo.com
I would have to say wait for her…. I am terrible at waiting but peeking and telling us would spoil the surprise for your niece…hopefully you won't have to wait too long!!!
I think you should wait…I know it's always hard to wait but just think of her excited little face when you open it together. You will be the coolest Aunt ever!
And pictures are a must!
I love the toppers by the way too! I'm going to have to get a couple sets of those!
I think you should wait for your neice….she will love a suprise.
Michelle
mcmtino@aol.com
These are too cute – I love how creamy the frosting looks! And I'm sucker for baked goods with banana.
I don't like surprises. I'd have to open it now!
wait! but while waiting you could smell the boxes and listen to them and see if it give you any clues!
I say open the box that's for you now, and let your niece open the box for her when she comes. :)
new to your site & LOVE giveaways! ;)
As tempting as it would be to open it, I would wait. The surprise is always better when enjoyed with a friend!
I want to say wait because everyone else did. But I think you should open one! Maybe re-wrap them…I can never wait.
I would probably open mine (because I can't wait) and then let her open hers on her own! Good luck with waiting…too tempting for me!
Wait!!! You will enjoy the surprise together!! Jen is super sweet and so creative. I cannot wait to see what she sent you two!!!
(~~)
Julie
Open yours now and post pictures…please! :)
sojinator (at) gmail (dot) com
Wait for your niece… surprises are so much more fun with kids. If you doubt that, just look around on Christmas morning!
I know you probably wanna open it but I think you should wait for your neice to come again :D.
i personally would open mine right away, but then again, i am a bit of a hedonist. however, enjoying the surprise together with your niece will be a far sweeter experience, a moment better shared
love your work, bakerella! :D
jenn
I think you should wait and share the special suprise with your neice. She will love it.
Open yours and show us and mail the surprise to your niece and have her open it while on the phone with you! Better yet use Skpe!
As much as I would love to rip into the package to see what cuteness awaits…. I say wait for your niece. It will totally be worth the wait.
Um…..it depends on when your niece will be visiting again. If longer than a week, I say you open yours now and then save hers for her when she visits again. That way you can both enjoy….you can enjoy yours now and she will enjoy when she visits again and gets to open hers. :) You rock, Bakerella!

bbranham@colonialclaims.com
Seriously???? 2118 comments SO FAR?!?!?!?
*sigh* At least I'm not alone in my Bakerella fixation!
I HATE waiting, but your little helper is truly a Bakerella in training, so I think it would be extra fun to wait til she is around!
Open Open Open!
As much as i would LOVE to be your little helper to help you rip open that very scrumptous looking gift…. I would have to tell you to wait…. Your neice will love to share the glory in opening something so very pretty!!!
I would open mine. And let your niece open hers next time she come. But I am so impatient and can't wait for suprises!
I know it is hard…that's the kid in us…but wait and you can share the excitement with your neice!
I would never have the patience to wait!!! I would like to tell myself it would be more fun to wait but I'd totally open mine, and then close it back up! I may have been known to do this to a Christmas present or two in my life!
Definitely wait! It will be so much fun opening them with her!
teaforthoughts@yahoo.ca
I say wait and open them together. It will be so much more fun for the both of you. :)
LOVE the cupcake toppers. So adorable!! I hope I win. :)
Ahh, wait! She will <3 you for it! I'm so excited to see whats inside and i'm sure your neice will be too! sanju_modha@hotmail.co.uk
i'm so curious to se what it is, but waiting is probably best. surprises are so much fun!
I would wait for the helper…but I'd get her over there as soon as possible!!
Depends, how long until your niece comes? I think I'd wait. But maybe I'd open one…
niemannfamily@mac.com
I would so wait, I don't even have to think about it!!! I love waiting! I love the anticipation much more than the surprise! I may be the only person in the world, but on Christmas morning, I'm the one trying to get everyone to sing carols and eat breakfast, and play with the furries before opening presents! Once you open it, you can't go back and keep wondering what is inside!
Although the waiting is almost more than I can bear (and they're not even my gifts!) I think you should wait!
I believe I would open mine and watch her open hers……after all….what if it is something that needs some preparation. You'll want to be ready.
oh I know you should wait until your niece gets there and open them together but I wouldn't be able to resist and probably open and re-wrap them ;)
Open! Open! Open!!!
Oh my goodness these are cute! If I were you I'd wait for your neice. She'd love that! But if I were me (and I am) I would have opened mine already :-)
I am a good girl and I would wait, although it may be torture!
I'll cast my vote with the 'wait for your niece' crowd. But make sure you tell her just how HARD it was to wait – that will let her know that you love her enough to do something hard for her.
You should wait!! Wouldn't it be much more fun to have a surprise together??
Oohhh. Wait and open with your niece. How fun!
Ooooo… tempting yes! BUT me I would definitly wait! There is something special built between an aunt and niece during moments like these. I loved doing that with my nephews when we lived close to them- it makes those memories last forever! However I totally can not wait to see what your surprises are!! I am sure like everything else you touch they will be adorable!

I say wait for your niece. They are presents for both of you, and I bet it'll be so much better to be able to look at them both at the same time. You'll both have gifts (which are always amazing) and you'll have the experience together to boot!
You have to wait!! So much more fun to open them together!
Oh, dilemma.. As much as the anticipation kills, I say definitely wait for your niece!
..or, uh, open yours, then rewrap it before she comes over so you can 'both' open them.. No, definitely wait on both. Haha.
sammei [at] gmail [dot] com
Perhaps you can await, perhaps not :D, but I advice to await.
http://www.ebetys.vuodatus.net
I would probably just open mine up and let her open hers whenever she comes. I wouldn't be able to wait!
My fingers would be itching to open them, but i would wait for the neice. The look on her face would be priceless.
I would like to be the kind of person who would wait…but I'm not. I would then re-wrap mine and hers too. It would make for a cute post! And you would still get to open them together!!
shrebicek622@gmail.com
I'm sure it is something fabulous, but as hard as it might be, I think you should wait. Until then go ahead and imagine what could be in those two beautiful packages! Can't wait to see!
carrie (aka "cuppiecrazy" on flikr)
carriemaclean@roadrunner.com
Personally I would open them and rewrap them…I used to do that with all my brother's Christmas gifts (that way I could still be surprised by my own…but could get some relief for my curiosity!) But I don't really like surprises! Since you say you do, I think you should wait for your little helper…it will make it all the sweeter!
I would definetly wait- it is like Christmas and the excitement will grow!
wait… delayed gratification is the BEST!
I would have ripped into both packages the minute that I got them! I am horrilbe with suprises, though.
Wait until your niece comes to visit, then open with her! My 4 year old daughter loves surprises and I think their is nothing sweeter than opening a surprise with a kid.
adb7800@tampabay.rr.com
I'd totally open it, but I'm super impatient. I'm also super in love with those toppers, sooo cute!
I think you should wait and do it together.
just wait!!!! it makes it so much more exciting. like being a kid on christmas eve.
Practicing patience is always healthy, but if the stress is just too much, take a sneak peak!
Open yours now. If it were me, I'd consider opening them both and rewrapping the one that wasn't mine. It would depend on how old your neice is, and if she'd ever read what you did with her present on your blog.
I would open both packages and peek inside and seal them back up. Then I'd open them together and act all surprised. However, that's just me. I recommend you wait to open them. :D
I think you should wait–it will be so much fun to both be surprised!
Definately rip it open! the supense would kill me!harpercrew@gmail.com
Open them together….it'll be more special that way.
Can't wait to see what it is!
I would definitely wait to open the packages. Anticipation is one of the best parts about surprises!
caitoa215@gmail.com
I think you should wait (as hard as it might be) and open the box with your neice.
wait! it will be more fun!
ctseibert@yahoo.com
Rip open yours and show us all the sweetiness inside, ooowww i can't wait lol
And then watch the lovely look of happiness on your nieces face when she opens her's.
There is nothing better than watching little ones opening up suprises. My two just go for it and gifts are opened in seconds lol fabulous.
catherine@mollycupcakes.co.uk
Anticipation is half the fun! Wait until your niece comes and open them together! Does your little helper know about it?
Ohh…I love Jenny from the Lollipop Workshop. I'm on her newsletter loop.
Maybe you could open it up VERY carefully…take a peek…and then rewrap. Worked for me when I was a kid. :)
Nay, you better wait. Surprises are more exciting!
I would wait until your niece visits again so you can open them together. That will make your time together feel even more special, plus I'm sure she'll appreciate that you didn't open your's, but waited for her instead!
ratsandsarah@msn.com
Oh come on. Everyone knows they would open their package and leave the other for your niece to open later. You wouldn't want to miss her total reaction by being distracted with another package. Go ahead, open it up and then watch the surprise factor on her face when she opens hers.
I would wait. It will be fun to open them together.
I'd wait. :) I'm one of a few people I know who actually love surprises.
The wrapping job on these little surprises is superb.
This is confidential, right?!
I would be all over ripping into them and rewrapping. No one would ever know :)
I would wait and savor the moment of discovery :)
I would open yours, but leave your nieces for her to open. She'll be too excited opening hers that she won't care you got a present too!
Plus, you'll be too excited to see her reaction. So just wait — that's what I'd do!
jaholloway1124@gmail.com
I would have to wait… even though it would be really hard.
dakoehn at msn dot com
I would invite your niece over pronto! Opening them together would be a great surprise but then I could see where you might want to have accompanying items prepared and it is harder for a child to wait…..I would still wait though and do it together. Can't wait to see what it is.
Tanya.Harris@aglife.com
I probably would have ripped them open without another thought, but I am just curious like that. I think it would be super sweet of you to wait until your niece comes to visit.
Love, love, love your blog and I'm not even that much of a baker. You always bring a smile to my face with your fun delicious looking projects and your great sense of humor. I do love to make cupcakes, though, and I know my kids would adore these fun toppers.
Please wait for your little helper! It will be so much fun watching her little eyes sparkle with excitment when both gifts are opened!
dtbutts01@yahoo.com
Definitely Open…and Re-Wrap!
I don't know how you have waited as long as you have!!! I would open both of them and then wrap them back up…. I would also probably feel quilty about it afterwards but I hate to wait for things like that.
I'd wait for your "Little Helper". She'll love getting a matching present, and it'll be something that you two can share. :)
Amanda
beatusinscitia@gmail.com
I would wait for my niece if I were you. But, I would also make sure someone else is there so they can take pictures of you and her opening them together!
I would have to open mine and leave the other one. I couldn't stand that pretty little package staring at me all the time. lol
Those are so cute but I think you should wait. You can't fake surprise and anticipation.
I'd wait for your niece to show up and let her help!
ok.. so I would totally open both. Actually, I'd probably open mine and play with it, and then an hour later (after many failed attempts to distract myself), I'd go back and open the other one. At least I'm honest.. ? Which is why you shouldn't be like me. You should definitely wait. :)
Open then both together and share the joy!
shatteredecho (at) hotmail (dot) com
I selfishly would like you to rip it open to show us but the angel on my shoulder says that you should wait for your niece. It would be a great surprise for both of you.
deluciap@yahoo.com
I love surprises, too, so…I would probably wait.
Even though it would kill me!!!
Wait till you can both open them together!!! I'd love to win!!
Wait, but maybe you could expediate a quicker visit so you don't have to wait too long.
I'd never be able to make it…I'd probably open and rewrap for the niece! I mean, of course you should wait…but I'm just saying, I wouldn't be able to!
PLEASE OPEN IT and take pictures!!
I'd open mine without ripping the paper, so I could tape it back up. Or just rip them both open and wrap them with new wrapping paper. Your niece will never know!
(Of course, being an adult, I might exercise some self-restraint for my niece's sake, but it would be hard!)
Of course waiting is the right thing to do! But…..let's face it, since your niece will be so excited to open her gift, she won't even notice you opening yours at the same time. So open yours now! Then all the cute focus and excitement will be on your helper! (she'll love that more!)
holtsd@jbu.edu
its always more fun to wait!!
leighannet@gmail.com
I would wait, as hard as it would be, I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise.
You should definitely wait to open them with your niece. Although it's tempting, I'm sure seeing her surprised reaction will be worth it :)
You should wait, but I really want to know what is in them! Also, I really want to make banana cupcakes! I have some really ripe bananas so I think now is the time!! Those candle holders will look so cute on the top of them!
amcguire@heritagemail.org
definitely wait for your niece to visit, it is after all a present for her
;)
Few things will be harder, but wait for your helper. There are so few good surprises anymore. My head did explode from all the cuteness.
jlscores at gmail dot com
Wait and open them together. I bet they are things to work in conjunction. :-) I can't wait to see though!
Definitly wait for your niece to come again to open the gifts, it's more fun to share great experiences with people you love!
Open Open! There is nothing sweeter than the feeling of opening a present when you know you shouldn't! ^^
You SHOULD open them with your neice, but I surely wouldn't blame you for ripping them open right now!
You should wait to open with your adorable neice. She will treasure that memory with you forever as will you. :) But please take lots of pics for us. :)
Candice
cmfelan@wsecu.org
I think you should open them, because then you'll have the time to plan out what you could do with them! I hope you enjoy them and the time with your niece!
lillypad94@hotmail.com
Personally, I would have already torn them both open – lol – but in a classic example of, "Do as I say, not as I do" – I think you should WAIT 'til your niece arrives! ;o)
As difficult as waiting is, you should wait until your neice comes so you can open them together!
Your banana cupcakes sound delicious and I can't wait to try them!
Theresa (theresa.reck@gmail.com)
I would excersize every ounce of self control I have and wait. It would be hard though.
Wait until your little helper gets there and open them together! Eeee… can't wait to see what's inside!
I would save them. I'm the same way in that I can't wait to open a present, but opening it early never is as good as waiting. Besides, I think it could make her feel even more special that you waited just for her to open yours.
i would open mine and then wait for her to open hers.
I would show her what I got and how cool it was and then get her all excited telling her that they also sent something for her.
I don't think I could wait:)
Wait for your niece. It will be fun. Take pictures.
jheffordanderson at gmail dot com
I would definitely wait to open with your niece. Gift wrap is half the gift, and they are packaged SO adorably!!
I say you wait till your niece comes over again. But, you could just open yours… that wouldn't hurt, right??
Heehee, can you tell I am the person who always makes people open presents early?? :-)
Amber
abarnum619@yahoo.com
I wouldn't be able to wait… maybe you can just peek a little at your package?
oh, wait. Surprises are best shared, thanks for the chance, karen
I think you should wait.
I don't think my comment worked, so I am rewriting it – DON'T OPEN WITHOUT YOUR NEICE!!!
I'd like to say that I would wait…but deep inside, I think I might be tempted to peek and re-wrap. At least for your own present!
Probably just wait. :) It's like Christmas!
I'd have to wait for my helper too. Even if it meant hiding the goodies from sight until then. ;)
Wishing you plenty of patience!
Wait until your niece visits you!
Forget they exist for now, put them in a safe place, away from you view, so you can forget about them for a while.
The surprise will be so much better!
Wait for your niece, but make arrangements to see her ASAP! I would have to hide them from myself until she gets there. :-)

Ohhhh! I think if it was me i'd have to open it! I LOVE opening presents!! But i guess the best thing to do would be to wait for your special helper!
Let us know what you got!
I would want to rip into them as well…. but wait until your neice gets there, and it will be much better that way and worth the wait!
I suggest waiting so you and your niece will be surprised together! I'm sure it will be worth it! =)
I would wait until she comes over but I might go get her today after school just in case.
I have to admit that I'd probably open it and rewrap it, I couldn't take the waiting!

I would wait… a surprise is a lot more fun when you've got someone to share it with!

Yum! I have ripe benanas just waiting for a new assignment, besides bread. These look delish!
I would wait for that sweet little helper of yours… it will make it that much more special :)

I wouldn't be able to resist! I'd sneakily open mine, re-wrap it, and then invite the niece over ASAP to open them 'together.' :) Thanks for the great contest!
Definitely wait. Not only will you get to prolong the anticipation of a sure-to-be-wonderful gift, you can share the excitement with your niece.
But, I for one am dying to know what's in those lovely packages. Invite her soon! And post pictures!
