Cupcake Party Ideas and Decorations

1) Cupcakes are a great party theme; everyone loves cupcakes. They’re adorable, fun, colorful, festive and tasty! A fabulous theme for a girl’s party of any age!

2) When throwing a party begin with Party Supplies such as cupcake invitations, plates, cups, tablecloths and so on.

3) Continue with your cupcake theme throughout using Cupcake Balloons and Cupcake Banners.

Cupcake Party Balloons

4 Use cupcake liners as candy dishes. Purchase decorative or colorful cupcake liners and fill then with small candy such as M&Ms, Skittles, Reeses Pieces or Gummy Bears. These are a great decorative items. Use them as centerpieces, putting several candy filled liners together with balloons in the center of the tables, or use on your buffet table or anywhere throughout the party.

5) Another fun and unique touch for a cupcake party is fresh flowers. Not only do fresh flowers provide a wonderful fragrance to your party they also add a beautiful, decorative touch. Use them as centerpieces or on your buffet table.

6) It just seems that candy and cupcakes go hand in hand. Decorate with candy such as scattering colorful candy on your tables as confetti or string candy into garland and decorate your banisters, hang from the ceiling, etc. Use candy with a hole in the center (life savers, life saver gummies, mints, etc.) and fishing line.

7) Another great decorating touch is the Inflatable Cupcake.

8) Also, decorate with Cupcake Wall Decals.

Activities

Decorate Your Own Cupcake – Prior to the party have prepared cupcakes un-iced and no decorations. Set up a station for the kids to decorate their own cupcake. Provide, icing/frosting, sprinkles, nuts, whipped cream, writing gel, candy, etc. Let the kids decorate their cupcakes and then provide Cupcake Boxes or cellophane bags for them to transport their cupcakes home…or let them eat them at the party!!

Pin the Candle on the Cupcake - Just like Pin the Tail on the Donkey using a Cupcake and Candles! Find Pin the Candle on the Cupcake game here!

Guess How Many – Provide a jar filled with candy such as Hershey Kisses or Life Savers and have the kids guess how many are in the jar. The guest that comes closest wins. Of course, you need to count how many you put in so you’ll be able to crown a winner!

Decorate your own apron - Provide the children with their own white aprons and fabric markers. Let the kids personalize the aprons with their names and drawings. Of course they get to take these home as well!

Cupcake Hunt - Have a treasure hunt where the kids have to find all the ingrdients for making a cupcake such as flour, eggs, butter, sugar sprinkles and icing. Put a small amount of each item in it's own small baggy and label it. We suggest using plastic eggs instead of real eggs. Hide enough of each ingredient around the party area so that each child can find each ingredient. Then give the children a list of the ingredients they are hunting for. The child that finds all their ingredients first wins! Note: if the children are to young to read then just have them find as many ingredients as they can.

Cupcake Pan Toss - You will need small bean bags and a cupcake baking pan. Label each cup with a number. The first row will be the lowest numbers and number up from there. Each child gets 3 bean bags and standing a distance away from the cupcake pan must throw the bean bags into the pan. Their score is a total of what numbered cups their bean bags were tossed into. The child with the highest score wins.

Cupcake Party Food

Cupcakes – Of course, you have to serve cupcakes. Purchase a Cupcake Stand (or a few) and place decorative, fun cupcakes for dessert.
