Day 23: Cupcake toppers

This is one of my go-to decorating tricks. It's an easy way to really personalize your treats.

These were some I made for my cousin's wedding shower.  I simply made the monograms on my computer, used a circle punch to get them perfectly rounded and then just hot glued toothpicks to the back.

 

I also used them for a birthday party.

 

I made the cupcakes, but not the toppers.  These were made out of playing cards. 

The nice thing about using a cupcake topper is that it doesn't really matter what your frosting looks like because the topper is the star.  Yeah, you can buy the plastic-y type ones from the store, but making your own really adds a personal touch.
