I find it just as fun to create cake decorations in other materials than fondant and gum paste. Sometimes it is also much easier to make a certain type of decoration with glue and paper than if you were making it with fondant. There are so many great crafty sites and here are some of the ones that I love most when it comes to making crafty cupcake toppers.

This is my top 5 list for cupcake toppers:

#1 Sweet paper cupcake toppers.

#2 Vintage style cupcake toppers.
These vintage (Easter) cupcake toppers are the sweetest. This tutorial is for a little lamb, but you can use the chick and bunny as inspiration to make your own vintage cupcake toppers.

#3 DIY fabric flower cupcake topper.
A great way to use fabric scraps for cupcake toppers.

#4 DIY Pom-Pom Cupcake Topper Tutorial.

#5 Pinwheel cupcake toppers.

I hope that you will enjoy these tutorials as much as I do.

Happy Caking!
