**Contest Closed**A few years ago when Shelley's daughter's birthday cake didn't arrive, she rushed to the local grocery store and bought a boatload of cupcakes right off the rack. When she arrived home, she cried-as any loving mother would. After releasing her frustration, a brilliant idea occured to her: She could accent these cupcakes with a photo of her daughter on each and every one. She took four snapshots of her daughter and taped them to hand-cut straws and voila! Shelley has since perfected the craft and now offers beautiful custom cupcake toppers in her shop, BugandBoo.
I sent a headshot of Emma to Shelley and she created a set of custom Glitter Birthday Hat photo toppers for us. Shelley enhanced the image with a birthday hat that reads "I'm O
ne". She then printed the graphic on high quality photo stock, fastened it to a special wooden stick and added the toxic free glitter. You have the option to forgo the glitter, but why would I want to do that? Gotta love the birthday bling! I'm very pleased with the end product I know these toppers are going to be the talk of the party, which is only a month away - yikes!
BUY IT! Shelley sells her toppers on Etsy and 1000markets. The shop also has cake toppers, favor boxes, crowns and more!
WIN IT! One lucky reader will win a set of 12 custom toppers - winner's choice! (U.S. Only)

I do love Bug & Boo. So many cute things! I would love the Personalized birthday (pink party hat) cupcake toppers but I think that by the time your giveaway ends, Shelley will be on vacation and then I wouldn't get them in time for my little one's birthday! Aaah! Maybe I'd save them for next year, then. :)

Best birthday party idea is to serve cupcakes. So nice not to have to cut a cake and have a bunch left over. We do get a small cake decorated in whatever theme the birthday person wants and have the cupcakes in that theme also. The parties for the grandkids are usually at a venue that hosts kids parties so the clean up is minimal.

ReplyDeleteMy best birthday planning tip: make homemade cupcakes, with homemade frosting. I had 6 little cups of diff colored frosting and 6 cups of diff types of toppings (sprinkles, candy bits, etc) and let the group of 8 yr olds just make their own. It was a fun activity and I didn't have to worry about making a cake! The kids loved it.
