So Many Choices... Cupcakes!

Who doesn't love cupcakes? They are simple, cute, clean(er). Many of us opt to serve cupcakes at birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, or really whenever there is an opportunity to celebrate. The much simpler and cleaner option than its larger counterpart, the cake, yet just as complex when it comes to the decorating part. This small treat is no small task when it comes to choosing from endless toppings, toppers, wrappers, and candles. Let's start with how to dress up your compact cakes!

Zoo-inspired cupcakes by Artisan Cake Company. Too cute to eat!

Wrappers- anything from a simple colorful liner to fancy decorative wrappers
can quickly transform your cupcake.


Toppers- Aside from candles, paper toppers are quickly becoming as popular because of how cute and easy they are to make. And by easy, I mean if you have a printer, a roll of scotch tape, and a creative mind then you can totally make this a 1 hour DYI project at home. To really get an idea of how easy, just head over to One Charming Party to check out Brittany's simple step-by-step tutorial on making your own toppers. Told you so!
