Easy Cupcake Decorating Ideas

Here is an easy and inexpensive way to add a special decorative touch to your cupcakes.   Make your own cupcake toppers that coordinate with your party theme like this cowboy hat in bandana print. 

DYI Cupcake Topper

These are easy to make using a cutout and a flat toothpick. 

You can print patterns directly to the paper you want to use then cut them out or cut out a template and trace around it onto your paper.

I have some free printable shape templates that you can get here.

I suggest heavy weight paper for your cutouts.

Use flat toothpicks ( my preference)  and glue them near the bottom of your cutout piece so they will have a little room to stand. When that is dry insert them into your cupcakes. 

​
*If you are going to write on the cutout, add glitter or anything else, do that before you glue on the toothpick.

*To make the topper double sided, glue two pieces back to back except for a small opening at the bottom to slide in the toothpick.  When that has dried, dip the tooth pick into a little bit of glue and slide it into the hole and hold it shut for a couple of seconds so the toothpick will get a good hold to both sides of the topper cutouts.

​A gold cowboy boot would look good for a wedding, 50th anniversary or New Years Eve for example.
