How to Make Cupcake Toppers

September 25, 2013 by Sheila | A B & Me 1 Comment

When I tell people that I made this:

 

they be like … Noooo!
 
Everyone thought I ordered the cupcakes from somewhere. But I didn’t. I made them myself. These are normal cupcakes topped with vanilla bean frosting using 1M tip. (You can’t really see it based on the photos but my swirls are uneven and some of the cupcakes collapsed in the middle!)
 
Then I made cupcake toppers from cardstock. It’s quite easy if you have the right tools. Here’s what you need:
 
Cardstock / colored paper / printed templates (or stickers)
Fiskars Scalloped Squeeze Punch, Extra Large
Fiskars Squeeze Punch, Large – Circle
Popsicle Sticks or Straws (I used straws)
Glue, Glue Stick, Stapler
Scissors
 
First I designed my cutouts using picmonkey.com. 

 
 
  • I created a collage then added overlays and some text. 
  • Print on cardstock
  • Cut out the edges so that your puncher can reach the center of the circle. The circle is about 1.5 inches. (I like my Fiskars punch coz you can see where you are cutting. )
  • Then I took my 2 inch scalloped Fiskars punch and cut colored paper.
  • Staple / Glue all the pieces together and you’re done!
 
 

As you can see, my “circles” didn’t have the design I initially planned. Apparently my design was too big for the paper puncher so all that was left was the white background. :/  You may have to adjust your designs accordingly. 

 
 
Don’t forget to cut the straws in half otherwise you’ll have a very high cupcake topper! 🙂
Hope this helps!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Just a normal day with the fam. Sometimes the be Just a normal day with the fam. 

Sometimes the best memories aren’t from big adventures but from the simple moments—like game night in a cozy cabin, laughing until our stomachs hurt. We booked our Big Bear stay through @airbnb and @avantstay gave us the perfect backdrop for a weekend full of fun, comfort, and family time. Definitely one for the books.
