Mother’s Day Freebie! {Cupcake Toppers}

Ooooo, let's make something fun for our super awesome momsies, what do ya say?

Cupcake Toppers 1

I drew up some little cupcake toppers – because really, there is nothing more fun than baking cupcakes and then decorating them (looove that part), and then printing and cutting out pre-drawn paper, to then glitter and stick into the cupcake, is there?

I wanted to create a sweet little love note to our moms, which is why I chose –

Dear Mom, I love you…

Then I decided to throw in a couple of stars for good measure.

All you have to do is print out my free printable, which I will link to at the end of this post.

(I printed mine out onto card-stock)

Then cut out your toppers (I used scalloped scissors)…

And, use a little non-toxic iridescent glitter if you have it, to embellish a bit…

(I used everyday white craft glue, and then sprinkled the glitter over that)

Dust off the glitter real good and let it dry completely…

Then, grab some wooden skewers ( I cut mine in half), or some toothpicks…

Tape them to the back of your toppers, stick them in the center of your cupcakes, and voila…

There you have it.

Something so easy, and fun for mom too.

From me to you 🙂

I also threw in a pink and aqua star, which I then painted with craft glue, and sprinkled with iridescent glitter as well.

They add just the extra little sparkle to make your cupcake display that much lovelier.  Stars have a way of doing that, don't they?

We had a super scary event at our house yesterday, so cupcakes and glitter so hit the spot.

Sparkly heart

 

 

ps:  A little Baker Baker for ya…

pss:  I used this recipe for my cupcakes.

 

  1. Sister!!!! Your cupcake toppers are super deluxe! Very wonderful idea. Does this mean you are making cupcakes for our mum? AND, if you are indeed making cupcakes for her, does this mean I get to steal one or two from her??…
    I love the pearls and fancy things on the cupcakes. You make those cupcakes look too pretty to eat. I am glad they aren’t vegetable lasagna 😉

  2. Sister – I am so sorry I stuck your barbies into the disgusting giant
    vegetable lasagna our mother would leave for us:)))))) amongst other
    horrid things I did to torture you. But man, it was FUN, I cant lie
    ;)))))) xoxo
    ps: Lovee ate the cupcakes – will have to make more for momsie 🙂

    BARBIES in a lasagna…..supposed to be shrimp on the Barbie (haha some down under humour)! Thanks so much for the awesome printables. Mother’s day is so special. You are the best!

  4. Beautiful treats and treasure for all the Moms out there, yay!
    So sorry you had a super scary something happen. Yes, sweet treats ALWAYS help recover from the yuckies. Personally, between you and me… cream cheese frosting is a super secret cure-all for everything… Maybe even world peace :o)
    Have a great day!
    Always, Queenie

  5. Oh Queeeeeenie! I forgot to say, those do have cream cheese frosting,
    which I added a little food coloring to. A tiny drop of blue and yellow
    for the aqua, and a tiny bit of red for pink of course ;))) Scary
    yesterday – only I am not allowed to tell the tale, so I have to bite my tongue
    – isnt that sad? But it involved a scary happening and then a
    hospital. A sort of nightmare day that looked so bleak, and then turned
    out a-okay in the end. Phew. Isnt that so cryptic? I cant
    stand when people are all sly about stories, and here I go ;)))
    Love, V

  6. Oh, shrimp on the barbie, yumm yummmmm!! With my vegemite sandwich
    ;))))) Oh oh, I feel a song coming one…..
    You better run, you better take cover, ya…. can you hear can you here
    that thunder? I come from the land down under— met a strange lady, she
    made me nervous, she took me in and gave me breakfast, and she said……
    Do you come form that land down undah????
    Sorry Lovely Nathalie, had to blast to the 80s there, with a little Men at
    Work ;)))

  7. Jessica says:

    Till mother’s day! Yippee!!

  8. Debbie from Texas says:

    You are so talented! I have been a “secret” blog admirer for awhile now. I have even using some of your free printouts. Just wanted to say, Thank You! You have a wonderful Mother’s Day!!

  9. Pat says:

    You are the sweetest for sharing these lovelies! My mother is deceased so Mother’s Day is a bit bittersweet. There are others I can share part of the printables with though and I adore the cupcakes! Glitter makes everything better ~ it really does. 🙂

    Very cute cupcakes. I think I’ll print them out for my grand to make something for her mommy.
    Glad whatever happened ended up okay.
    I’m taking a shortbreak from my strawberry jam making. I went to Dayton Tennessee this am and got berries right off the truck from the fields. We’ll have freezer jam for awhile. And a strawberry pie and fresh for eating. Maybe some strawberry cupcakes:)

    light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not o vercome it.
