Birthday Cupcakes

Using delicious Funfetti cake mix and frosting, I created these cupcakes for a friend’s birthday party! I made the cupcake flags by cutting out an elongated diamond shape (in this case, from cute Origami paper), and wrapping it in half around a toothpick. Then I glued the two pieces together and used a craft punch to make the star cutout and curled the paper with my thumb, and then Voila! Custom, colorful, fun cupcake flags for the occasion 🙂

These were a fun new challenge to tackle for a friend’s bridal shower! My friend loves flowers, so I knew incorporating real flowers into her special treat would be perfect. I think I could have done a better job had I allowed a little more time to let the flowers fully dry, but I think they still looked pretty and pretty tasty too 🙂
