EASY 4th of July Cupcake Toppers

Do you want to give your cupcakes that extra pizzazz? Look no further. I have the solution and it is super easy.

Want to know why the cupcakes in the bakery look so much better for some reason? They do not necessarily taste better, but many times they have cupcake toppers. These toppers add a little extra decor to the cupcakes to make them look like a star.  These took me 5 minutes to make and will for sure be a big hit on whatever cupcakes you make. I have put toppers on my cupcakes, along with sprinkles for years and people always say they look professionally done.


The supplies for this project include:

  • Glue (I used school glue because it was the closest thing I could find, but other glue would work too and would probably be better leaving no residue or warping)
  • Cardstock-Red and Blue
  • Skewer sticks
  • Scissors
  • Tape
  • Cricut or two different sized stars
Here are the steps:
  1. Make and cut two different sized stars with a Cricut machine.
  2. Glue the small star to the big star.
  3. Cut the skewer sticks to length leaving the pointy end for the cupcake.
  4. Tape the skewer stick to the back of the star.
  5. Put them in the cupcakes! and it is done!


What did I tell you? Super easy right, but these little toppers will dress up any cupcake in a flash and be the hit of the party. The stars could also be covered in glitter to add that even extra pizzazz.
