New Year’s Eve Ball Drop Cupcake Toppers

I’ve been planning some New Year’s treats and decorations for tomorrow night. To bring in the New Year, we’re celebrating with cupcakes topped with these mini Ball Drop toppers.

I think these turned out quite festive. I baked the cupcakes in gold foil papers and then topped them with a sparkly ball.

The supplies are really inexpensive. I used Wilton Lollipop Sticks and a $1 Christmas floral pick from Michael’s. I simply pulled off all the silver glittered foam balls from the pick and then just pushed them onto the lollipop sticks. I’m sure if you couldn’t find a floral pick like the one I did, you could easily glitter some 1″ foam balls.

I also came up with a new cupcake recipe. These buttery, sweet treats are Sparkling Cider Cupcakes (I’ll be posting the recipe right away). They’re my family friendly version of Champaign Cupcakes.
