Topped Off {Cupcake PomPoms}

Cupcakes are cute, but want to know what makes them cuter? A topper. The cupcake trend is taking over and it's time to snaz it up a bit. You can keep the sprinkles and the caramel drizzle, but what's really needed is a topper. Cakes have been topped with everything from candles to bunting and even miniature people. And it's time to bring the topper trend to the cupcake. Right now, I'm loving the idea of topping the little indulgence with homemade flair like these yarn pom poms. The ball of fun is sure to catch stares from across the room. My favorite part? How easy they are to make. In just a few minutes, you've created a fluffy ball of joy.

Topped Off {Cake Bunting}

Happy Wednesday dolls! Recently, I've been searching for the perfect cake topper for any occasion. I'm getting a little tired of the traditional candles, sprinkles, monograms and figurines. While still hoping for something that will add a little dimension, I was feeling stuck. That is, until I stumbled upon cake bunting. How cute right! It gives any cake some extra height making it look much bigger than it actually is. Plus, look how it can jazz up this otherwise boring white cake. All you need is two sticks and a small banner or two to string between them and your cake is ready to go. With endless celebrations and an abundance of creativity, the possibilities for cake bunting are countless!
