I'm thinking about having cupcakes instead of cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday....?

Question

I need a cute way to decorate them though... I'm thinking of having chocolate cupcakes with pink icing and little number 2's on them....

any other suggestions?

thanks

Answer 1

You can put them all together on a platter and decorate them as though they were a cake.  

There are some ideas below.

Edit- I'm sorry, TX2, I didn't see your answer before I posted.

Answer 2

I would go with the cupcakes.  In general, kids like their own little cake.  When she gets a little older (4 or 5) you supply each child at the party with decorations and let them decorater their own cupcake.  All you would do is put the icing on.

Answer 3

You are just the cutest mom ever!

Consider what colour your child looks best wearing. You know it'll all over their face in seconds! :D:D

haha

have fun!

Answer 4

They have these really cute cupcake holders at hobby lobby that look like feet. You cook you cupcakes in them and then they have a little book that shows you different ways to decorate them to look like faces. They are really cute.. any 2 year old would like them.. but I think any two year old would like a cupcake period. lol. Good luck!.  

Answer 5

Cupcakes are a great idea, especially if they're creatively done. I came across this amazing website that should be REALLY helpful for you. Besides giving ideas, directions are also included. Have fun with this one. http://www.cupcake-decorating-ideas.com/...

Answer 6

also try some pink heats on the cupcakes

i think that kids like cupcakes more then cakes

Answer 7

Ihave 3 grandkids under 4-1/2, and my daughter always gets a cupcake cake for them.  It's much easier to serve, and easier for the kids to eat.  She gets them at Kroger's bakery, and they're done in any theme you want.  But, you just push them all together, and frost as one cake on top.  You could push them into the shape of a number 2, and decorate with pink icing and sprinkles......
