5 Ways to Use Mini Cupcake Wrappers

Mini desserts are fantastic because, you get to indulge in several sweet treats without overdoing it. That’s partly why dessert tables are all the rage right now. Dessert tables are perfect for weddings, anniversary parties, reunions, birthday parties, or showers, adding elegance to any occasion.

Mini desserts look so sweet in mini cupcake wrappers, highlighted on trays and platters. Tiered cake stands add height to the dessert display. Here are a few ideas for filling those Mini Skirtz mini cupcake wrappers on your next dessert table.

Great ways to use those mini cupcake wrappers

* Oreos tied in pretty bundles with a little ribbon.

We bundled three Oreo cookies together with some ribbon tied in a simple knot. To make these humble chocolate cookies presentable for our posh dessert table, we dropped the bundles into Little Black Dress Mini Skirtz, mini cupcake wrappers by Confetti Couture.

* Tea light candles

We placed the tea lights that come in a tiny glass holder (from the dollar store!) inside these mini cupcake wrappers. We love that the candles can so easily coordinate with our event, and the reversible Mini Skirtz cupcake wrappers bring the style up a notch.

* Names on soda bottles

Nothing worse than taking a sip of your drink at a party… and realizing it belongs to Uncle Ralph. Name labels for drink bottles are so popular, maybe solely for this reason, but we think not. They are a lovely addition to otherwise ordinary party fare. Confetti Couture’s mini cupcake wrappers have an aqueous coating, so they are perfect for writing a name, and sliding them around the neck of soda bottles. Simply tie a coordinating ribbon above the cupcake wrapper on each bottle, to keep them in place.

* Two-bite brownies

The simple two-bite brownie makes a statement at the party with some easy accessories. Just slip them into mini cupcake wrappers, and top each brownie with a small chunk of a chocolate bar paired with a fresh cherry. Caramel sauce and a gooey, caramel filled chocolate candy on top makes another sinfully delicious treat in seconds.

* Cake pops

Cake pops are so much fun, and can be extravagantly decorated. We are not pastry chefs of any sort... but we do know yumminess. So, make some delectable cake pops and serve them using these darling cake pop kits. Don’t worry if you aren’t the type that can craft a perfect storybook character out of sugar. These reversible mini cupcake wrappers hold your confection of perfection ever so stylishly. And even if it’s less than perfect, it will look drop-dead-gorgeous!

The precious mini cake plate in the photo? It’s simply a full size, Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrapper, assembled and placed upside-down. To the cupcake wrapper, we glued a coaster. These adorable tiny cake stands work beautifully for dessert tables, party tables, place cards and so much more.

We say go mini, or go home. Or go mini at home. Well, you get the picture. Mini treats are the way to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth at your next party.

How to Make Cupcake Toppers

Cupcakes are the perfect blank canvas for your party’s dessert table. The cupcake toppers can so easily be customized to coordinate with any theme or colors you choose. We do have a slight aversion to the cupcake toppers available on the market right now. Not enough bling and wow. Printed tags are sweet… for some occasions, but are certainly not a one-size-fits-all option. Not enough elegance. So as usual, the Party Divas, here in The Dressing Room, have some over-the-top DIY cupcake toppers for you to try.

DIY Cupcake Toppers: Ideas and Inspiration

Silk-esk flowers add a profusion a drama and elegance to the humble cupcake. We paired this DIY floral cupcake topper with the hand painted paisley designs from Confetti Couture’s Autumn Nights Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers. The plum petals are secured into the chocolate cupcakes with beaded party picks. A tower of flower topped cupcakes is a gorgeous display for weddings, showers, anniversaries, or 50th birthday party.

For this spectacular touch of sparkle, we used several beaded party picks. Cupcake toppers are jewelry for your cupcakes. We skirted this cupcake with cupcake wrappers from the Jeweled Amethyst collection of Dessert Skirtz. This look is brilliant for weddings, anniversaries or even a girly princess party.

Sometimes you have to go big or go home. These mini cowboy cupcakes are dressed in Rustic Americana Mini Skirtz, mini cupcake wrappers. They are topped with Texas sized die cut paper letters with a handwritten name. These rustic minis make adorable place cards on the party table. Think Fourth of July, Western theme, or a kid’s train theme party.

These precious pinwheel cupcake toppers are so easy to make. Check out our pinwheel tutorial to make your own. The DIY pinwheel cupcake toppers are tucked into chocolate cupcakes skirted with cupcake wrappers from Confetti Couture’s Traditional Elegance collection. This collection has coordinated cupcake wrappers in the standard size, as well as the mini cupcake size. Both are adjustable to fit your “standard” or “mini”. Lovely.

The options are endless! Make amazing cupcakes.
