What would a party be without cake? I made a little batch of cupcakes to take along to my niece’s birthday party, in two flavours, marshamallow, and banana and chocolate, courtesy of the The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook . Using the party theme, ‘balloons’, I designed some cupcake wrappers to decorate…
And with the tissue paper left over from the piñata bags, I made these cute mini pom poms. I thought they could work as little balloon cupcake toppers.

(There’s a great tutorial on pom pom toppers here on 6 Bittersweets.)
The finished article – piñata bags and cupcakes at the party…
How fab is this birthday cake? My sister made it from scratch!
A very happy 2nd birthday party indeed!








I’m so glad you found the tutorial for the pom pom cupcake toppers useful! Yours came out great =).
