    stickers, but make it easy on yourself, cupcake, and order them.

  • Stick to it. Do yourself a favor and order the custom cupcake stickers also from
    Invitation Jane. You'll get 48 stickers for $21, which is plenty for the invitations
    and favor tags.

  • Punch in up a notch, cupcake! Martha Stewart shows you how to make a
    cupcake card with her cupcake punch available, left.

How to have a party for your little cupcake

Your little cupcake is having a birthday and since everyone loves cupcakes why not
throw her a cupcake party? A cupcake theme party for kids is all about the
decorations (and the frosting). Simply, you bake the cupcakes and let the kids
decorate. Party planning is relatively easy, though you'll have to prepare for some
sticky fingers.

An ideal theme for girls, a cupcake party is ONE-derful
theme for toddlers or as a
sweet
first birthday too. Here's how to have a memorable cupcake themed birthday:

  • Turn your table setting into a cupcake! Instead of confetti, use edible cupcake
    sprinkles on your tables. Put snacks into cupcake baking cups. And

  • Everything's coming up cupcakes. Discover the cupcake party decorating video
    that shows you how to make a flower cupcake and cupcake crafts for your
    party activities. Your flowers will look tasty enough to eat!

  • Sew cute! Make cupcakes from felt in just a few easy steps. Add a few felt
    cupcakes to your tablesetting or put them together for keepsake favors. Stuff
    them with lavender and they're great for the clothes drawers.

  • Start looking online, cupcake! You'll find an array of handmade cupcake items on
    ETSY. The birthday girl can make a grand entrance in the sweet as can be
    cupcake fairy costume, right, available on Amazon.  You'll find the cutouts,
    pictured left, also on Amazon, as well as cupcake balloons and more:

Cupcake Inspired Foods to Serve at Your Party



  • Get kooky, cookie. Bake cupcake shaped biscuits with a cupcake cookie cutter. Of
    course, these fun cookie cutters are also fun for cookies, and even hamburgers!
    They'll get a kick out of cupcake shaped hamburgers you frost with ketchup.

  • Be a Hostess with the most-est. Have some fun with the iconic Hostess cupcake
    design:
  • Rachel Ray's Marshmallow cupcakes look like the Hostess Cupcakes. Bake
    a few as part of your overall presentation and see if the kids can tell the
    real thing from your version. (Don't be upset if the little ones don't have a
    distinguishing palette.)
  • Bake a giant Hostess cupcake. Since everyone will be making cupcakes as
    part of the party fun, why not serve them cake instead? What better way
    than with a huge cupcake.
  • Dip chocolate sandwich cookies in chocolate and decorate with  swirls.
  • Give hamburgers a bit of Hostess flair with mayonnaise swirls. Fill one of
    your cupcake decorating bags and tips with mayo to make the famous
    swirls.
  • Make your invitation to the party out of chocolate colored paper, then use
    white glue and glitter to achieve the effect. Here's a Hostess Cupcake
    card made with a fancy embossing powder.
  • Get creative! Look for Hostess Cupcake Soap on ETSY. Yum!

Favors for a cupcake party
Decorating cupcakes is the main activity of a cupcake party, and possibilities are
infinite. Don't let the kids steal the show! You can unveil your fun cupcake tower or
huge cupcake for the party, then allow the kids to make their own cupcakes
masterpieces to enjoy later. Here's how to allow kids the fun of decorating the
cupcakes.

  • Cupcakes: Set out a variety of baked cupcakes without frosting, including
    chocolate, vanilla, and a confetti mix (vanilla cupcake baked with sprinkles). This
    will be much easier for your party, but you may make an activity of collectively
    baking a batch of cupcakes so that the aromas fill the air and the kids get a
    cooking lesson. Besides, what kid doesn't like to lick the bowl.

  • Frosting: provide chocolate and vanilla frosting options, or stick to one frosting
    options, but provide with colors. Help kids scoop their frosting of choice.

  • Gels: Set out a few gels for the little Picassos. Kids will have fun embellishing
    with gooey drips and swirls as well as personalizing their creations.

  • Sprinkles and toppings: Set out bowls of pastel colored candies, which provide a
    feminine touch. You'll find a variety of candy confetti, jimmies and non-pareils,
    gummy bears, colorful mini-marshmallows, M&Ms and Reeces Pieces or other
    colorful candies. Gum drops make effective flowers and flower petals for your
    cupcakes. Help kids flatten gumdrops with a rolling pin, then roll them up or use
    a knife to shape petals from the green ones.

  • Extras: Provide an unexpected treasure for the finishing touch. You'll find a
    variety of cupcake ring toppers, such as flowers, jewels and gems.

  • Boxes: Nestle their creations in pretty cupcake boxes by Wilton to make treats
