I’m doing a cupcake theme like most of you- here a few of my other ideas…

-we aren’t decorating our cupcakes beyond the white or chocolate frosting because our “favors” are a jar of sprinkles for each person with a label that says “Thank you for sprinkling M___ with a year of of love” that way they will get to decorate their own cupcake with their sprinkles and the centerpieces on the tables will be cupcake tins filled with m&ms, marshmallows, jelly beans, and other yummy decorate-your-own toppings
-Kohls Valentines decorations are all cupcake- we got our pasta bowl, table runner, frame for her birthday picture, a cupcake dress, and cupcake clothes, and other decorations and I will be able to use them for years to come on Valentine’s Day!
-our goody bags are cupcake boxes from a bakery that has the same name as my daughter and we are filling them with fun cupcake toys (rings, candies, lip gloss…)
-we have four different size cupcakes- the Wilton large cake size cupcake, jumbo cupcakes, regular cupcakes, and the mini ones- the table will be full in large to small order
-Michaels Valentines decorations have some really cute puffy stickers that we are using on the invites
-Michaels also has these colored plastic bowls that are shaped like cupcake papers- the zigzag bottom paper- they will be great for snacks on each of the tables

I know there are some other things- but these are some of our favorites we can’t wait to share with our friends!

I just wanted to say how cute it all looked. I am actually getting my son’s 1st birthday party together and I had decided to use cupcakes too. His theme isn’t cupcakes though. It is jungle animals. And it is turning out really nice. So I think that with cupcakes you can’t go wrong.

Hi Kari! Love your ideas for the cupcake themed party!! I’m in the process of planning my daughter’s second birthday party, and the theme is cupcake. I love your favors and was wondering what kind of little candies you used for them? I live in a small town and didn’t know if you bought them in bulk somewhere or purchased them at a local candy store? If you would be kind enough to let me know what you used or some ideas of what would work best, that would be wonderful! Thank you soooo much!

I love your cupcake ideas. My daughter is turning one at the end of this month and we are doing a cupcake theme as well. I am making a giant cupcake and was just wondering what recipe you used for your giant cupcake.

My daughter is planning a cupcake birthday for my grandbaby’s 1st birthday this Nov. I love your cupcake center piece, and banner, would you mind sharing how you make them? Did you also make the cupcake lollipops yourself? You did a “great” job!

I love all the ideas you did, party favors, lolipops, etc. I just got the giant cupcake pan and am really excitited to use it for her smash cake. I was searching for decorating ideas for the cake and came across your pic. Thanks for all the creative ideas….any suggestions would be great.

Maggie – I got mini baking cups and bought little candies and wrapped them in tulle, turned the tulle upside down into the baking cups so that they fluffed up like a cupcake, and then wrapped them in little cello favor bags!
And as for the lollipops, I loosely followed Bakerella’s blog on “cupcake pops”, but I opted to use Rice Krispies Treats inside instead of cake, thinking they would be easier to work with.

Kay – I made the centerpieces out of terracotta pots. Then I glued the bases on top of the pot, painted them to look like a cupcake and used wooden spools and ribbon to create the candle!

Lisa – Thanks! I used the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan!
