If you preferred the cliff notes over the 200lb novel…this post is for you! 🙂
Here are simple spring cupcake toppers & will only set you back a few pennies!
Those are cherry-flavored yogurt covered pretzels! You can buy 24 of those pretzels for about $1.75 from the Fresh Market. Stack the icing high on the cupcake, then take two pretzels & place the half circle ends together. Position your butterfly on one side of the delicious pyramid of icing, allowing the “hump” side (I can’t help it…I had to take a quick break to let out a little of Fergie’s “My humps, my humps…my…” now it’s in your head isn’t it? sorry :p) to slightly make almost a 45 degree angle. It does look especially pretty when you can swirl the icing onto the cupcake with the round icing tip.
Here’s another view…
For the cupcake stand, I used glass plates stacked on top of glass dishes. And our “runner” was some extra napkins the hostess had in her cabinet.
What about you? Do you have any penny-pinching cupcake topping ideas? I’d love to hear them!
Next week, we’re going to crash a party & you. do. not. want. to miss out on these recipes. (I hope my English teacher isn’t reading my blog :p)
