Fab Fete: Cupcake Caps
I’m a nut. I just spent the last hour obsessing over finding the perfect cupcake toppers for my engagement party. I recalled seeing these beautiful toppers in the form of Chanel quilting and felt the need to HAVE them at my party.
Of course it took me an hour to find them online because I had searched “cupcake topper”, “designer cupcake” and “cupcake tops” before finally searching cupcake cap and getting to my desired website cupcake caps! They make any amateur cupcake baker like me magically transform into a Martha Stewart professional. Just bake your cupcakes as you normally would, heck bake something straight out of the Betty Crocker box, frost quickly (doesn’t have to be perfect) then srew on a cupcake cap and voila you’ve got yourself a designer cupcake for only 1$ a cap!
Unfortunately, by the time I re-discovered the lovely cupcake topper site, I learned that the turnaround time for the caps I wanted was 2weeks, longer than what I needed for my event. Ah well.
I did however, fall in love with a few other vendors along the way that I will now include into my favorites list. Check out ticings, edible icing sheets that fit cakes or cupcakes and come in all sorts of holiday, special occasion and kids themes. You can create your own logo or pattern too!
On a similar note, I found that I can add fashionable patterns sticker-style with edible prints.
Who knew baking could be such a piece of cake?
Whoa! That’s so cool! : )
Though I am sure your engagement party is over by now, you could always use fondant. Most cake places sell quilted impression mats. You can roll a large piece of fondant out, press the mat over it, get a circle cookie cutter relevant to the size of the cupcakes, punch circles out, and place over lightly frosted cupcakes and smooth it out.
But then again, it may be a tad more work and stressload than needed. : ) Happy Engagement, Stella!
