How many times have you heard the kids argue over what piece of cake they wanted when it comes to cutting time? I would say just about every time. So to avoid that I think cupcakes are the perfect alternative. Each one is the same size and the same or similar decorations.

You can get just as creative with your cupcakes as you can with a cake. Today I would like to talk about Cupcake Rings and Cupcake Picks – a fun way to add some pizazz to the decorations.

Cupcake Rings as shown in the photo above are little rings that you place on top of your decorated cupcake and they come in all the popular Birthday Party Themes. The kids get to pull them off the cupcake of course lick off the frosting and they can then wear them.  It is like an extra prize the kids love and they make your cupcakes look so festive.  You can find a really large selection of Cupcake Rings on Ebay – I really think you can find every style right there.

Here a few pictures of Cupcakes using the Cupcake Rings:

They can keep them for a party keepsake. You also have some other fun options like finding some great Personalized Cupcake Picks which have a photo to go with your Birthday Party Theme or even a Photo of the Birthday Child.abbu caddaby cupcake pick Then you can add your special message to give it that personal touch. And again I think that Ebay is a great resource to find all the latest Cupcake Picks and a large variety of design choices.

If you are creative you can even create your own by printing a photo from the web onto heavy card stock – make 2 sides and attach to a toothpick or Popsicle stick.

Here a few pictures of  Cupcake Picks that I really like to show you some ideas:

Now that you have such great looking cupcakes you are going to want to show them off and it really becomes a nice centerpiece on the table. And again you have lots of great options with those as well.

One more place I would like to share is The Party Works – you can find lots of fun Cupcake Decoration there as well – from your Cupcake Rings, Cupcake Picks, Sprinkles, Sugar Shapes,  Edible Design Kits and more.

So in conclusion, when it comes to planning that special Birthday Cake consider Cupcakes and save your self the arguments. Have fun with them and enjoy.
