DIY Easter Cupcake Toppers

I just love cupcakes and thought I would create an Easter Theme Cupcake Topper for Easter theme project assigned to me. Perfect excuse to bake some yummy cupcakes.

I made some carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. It's the perfect Easter treat for everyone.

First, I prepared the decorative tag and added a bunny silhouette. I used my Silhouette SD to achieve this design. 

 
 Then, I stamped the sentiment using PSA Essentials Peel and Stick Topiary Stamp Set.


Added the wooden picks and that's it! It's super easy and dresses up any cupcake in a hurry.

Using a giant star tip and disposable bag fill and decorate cupcakes. Top with homemade cupcake toppers.
