DIY Countdown Cupcakes — Counting down the new year with DIY Countdown Cupcakes. Use them for New Year’s, anniversaries and more special occasions!
You may or may not have gathered by my caliber of cheesy jokes and constant home decor projects that I’m much more of a homebody than I am a partier.
However, a New Year’s Eve party that includes cupcakes and sparkles, I can get behind that! (Never mind the fact that this description could also be 90% of little girls’ birthday parties).
Now, this may be a bit hasty to say but this countdown cupcake DIY seriously takes all of four seconds to make.
All you have to do is stick a few numbered sparkler cake candles into cupcakes or your favorite dessert and light them one by one until the clock strikes midnight!
Easy peasy, and perfect for last minute celebrations.
You can buy numbered or lettered gold cake sparklers at any local party store or specialty paper and craft stores or online.
Bake or buy cupcakes for each number and use the stars for the last one. You could also make message cupcakes with these using the letters too! I’m just excited, can you tell?
LOVE IT !!! I especially love how you had the photo GIF with sparkler lighting ! Is it a GIF? I’d love to learn how to do that in 2014. Gorgeous ! I am LOVING your bloggy !!!

Where are the plates from? Do you know the brand? They are lovely!

What an adorable project! I will definitely have to try tracking down these candles!
On a completely different note, what software do you use to make gifs? They look great!
I’m more of a homebody than a partier too – but I’ll do a cupcake and sparkler party any day! I’ve actually never seen any gold sparklers anywhere (numbers or letters) so now I’m on a mission. Thanks for sharing this and have a Happy New Year, Ash!
