I can’t tell you how many times guests leaned in, ready to grab one, before realizing these cupcakes weren’t edible.
That’s the magic of pom-pom cupcakes, they bring a spark of joy and curiosity.
Crafting them feels almost like baking, except instead of mixing flour and sugar, you’re shaping yarn into fluffy treats.
Once finished, they look so pretty on a tiered cake stand, it’s hard not to smile every time you pass by.
Materials Needed
- Yarn in pastel colors (mint, pink, lavender, blue)
- 10 small pom-poms
- Scissors
- Pom-pom maker or cardboard rings
- Cupcake liners (paper or silicone)
- Glue gun
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Use your pom-pom maker (or cardboard rings) to create medium-sized fluffy pom-poms in pastel yarn colors.
Step 2: Trim the pom-poms neatly until they look round and soft, resembling frosted cupcakes.
Step 3: Place each pom-pom into a cupcake liner so it sits snugly inside.
Step 4: Glue a smaller pom-pom on top of each cupcake to look like a cherry.
Step 5: Arrange them on a plate, tray, or tiered cake stand for an irresistibly cute display.
