Pretty Pink Birthday Cupcakes

Birthday Cupcakes with Personalized Toothpick Flags | Evermine Blog | www.evermine.com
Sweet four (almost going on fourTEEN). That sums up my precious little girl who is pink, frilly, lacy and all. She’s a headband-wearing, bow-and-ribbon loving, lip gloss collector fashionista, and when I allow, she loves her nails done. In pink, of course.

So, it only makes sense to bake these basic yellow cupcakes with a simple glaze on top to highlight these DIY pink mini birthday flags made from personal labels. These flags are super easy to make. Just order the address sized labels in the Ruffled Ombre style (and you get a lot of labels per sheet, making this decor really cost effective), and stick the edge of one label onto a toothpick.

It’s as simple as that, yet the absolute cutest way to decorate your birthday cupcakes. And what better gift to give than shades of pink beads for the birthday girl to create sparkly jewelry to match her lip gloss, of course!

Happy 4th Birthday Shaina!
