party ideas (part three)

today's idea: birthday cupcakes

i love cupcakes. why? because they are easy to make and fun to decorate!

today we are sharing a fun way to spruce up the popular miniature cake we call the cupcake. 

start off with a cupcake flavor of your choice and some icing.

throw on some sprinkles

maybe a peach ring or gummy lifesaver

then add the fun (a dum dum dipped in water and coated with sprinkles)

or

lighten them up with a candle

seriously...could these be any cuter...or easier?

this idea orginally found here.

extra tip: when making a certain color dum dum as in the "pinkalicious" cupcakes pictured above... make sure to use a similar color dum dum as the sprinkles.
