Fellow ClubMom blogger Denise writes a series of cupcake topper posts on her A Daily Dose of Denise blog. She has some terrific ideas, so check them out!
Since I’m so hung up on piping frosting in interesting and unique ways, I never thought about searching for cute cupcake toppers. This would work for classroom parties as well as birthday parties. Heck, you could have a lot of fun with toppers at adult parties, like little foil packets of asprin or condoms for bachelor/ette parties, little memory sticks for all the geeks at the office party, or all of the above at next year’s BlogHer convention.
I love the the kitty figurines that Denise’s daughter picked. They’re not really meant to be toppers, but worked out great since they could be used as erasers once they were washed off.
Toppers as little gift goodies – it’s a good thing.

Actually, Elizabeth didn’t choose them her mother did aka TW. But, they did work out well. Though some of us think they look like they’re sitting in cat litter – which is a bonus for school cupcakes.
Thanks for the link.
I make ladybug cupcakes for my kids all the time. You use vanilla frosting dipped in red sugar, a red vine down the center, three chocolate chips turned upside down on either side, two mini marshmallows for the eyes and put a dot of black on each of them. Vwah lah. Lady bugs. Pigs use all of the same stuff, but pink sugar.
They look great. I’ve made cupcakes in the past but not being a mum I don’t have children to give them to!
I love this idea!!! I have three kids, born September 20, September 20 and September 9th – each two years apart, lol. No, it wasn’t planned, it was complete chance – in fact we only planned to have two children in the first place.
ANYWAY – we have HUGE extended families, and three huge parties is to much, so they each have a small one with a few friends, and then one combined on with family. Each of our children are TOTALLY different so we always ended up making three different cakes so they can each have their own design. Even with 20+ people there, there is lots of leftover cake. Cupcakes with unique toppers would be not only simpler, but much more efficient!
