My birthday is a week from yesterday, and although there's not much to celebrate about getting older, I'll take any excuse for a healthy dose of cupcake treats. Luckily, our friends at Holidash are making it quite easy on my friends and family this year -- I'll take one of each, guys!I love the lemon-flavored cupcake pictured, as it's just the right touch of handmade goodness. A sweet little flag tops a lovely and modern-looking cupcake, perfect for any occasion. You can find a plethora of flags to re-create the look right here, or download your own cuties from How About Orange right here.
For a cupcake-inspired decoration, why not create a garland out of cupcake liners? Or take a cue from Petunia and use your banner year-round for a sweet and feminine personal touch.
And while we're talking banners, don't forget to check out Holidash's lovely tutorial for creating a birthday banner that's sure to win over any crowd.
