The circus is in town...just kidding. We threw a circus themed party and needed some yummy circus cakes...mmmmm! These fun & easy elephant cake toppers were the perfect fit for the cupcakes. Super easy and add a fun element.
- Start by punching out circles with paper punch. We used 2" circles. You need 2 circles for each cupcake.
- Handstamp with a plain craft stamp each piece with whatever image matches your theme. The extra craft can carve their own stamps too.
- Take 2 circles, add a toothpick in between and glue them together plain old Elmer's Glue.
- Hold for a few seconds to let the glue set.
- Stick the toothpicks into the frosted cupcakes...and your DONE! Cute, fast and easy to match any theme.
These would be really fun for the upcoming holidays. Cute Merry Christmas, or Turkey images. A fun rainy day project with the kids too. They could draw their own images and color them with paint, crayons or markers.
And you can' t have a circus without the clowns! We used suckers to create a bouquet of balloons and to create a 3-d nose.
Little {L} turned two year old last week. Over the weekend we had an Earth Day themed birthday party. The kids had SO much fun! We had decorations made from natural & recycled items. An earth cake, including an earth colored inside! Seedling cupcakes made with chocolate frosting and green jelly beans, "sprouting" from the dirt.
The backdrop is made from upcycled paint chips. I had a whole bunch of paint sample books from the last time we painted. A quick circle punch job, and then they were glued to yarn. Mr. {D} was proud to say all day that he picked the stick they were hung from.
I made these little journals to give to the children at the party.
Peek a boo!
Go Green!!
