My daughter turned 6 a couple of weeks ago – just after school started and of course we had to bring a fun little treat to school to celebrate her birthday! I thought it might be nice to bring in something that the kids could take home and eat so they didn’t have to take time out of the day and make a mess for the teacher to clean up. Last year I brought in donuts in cute little pink & white striped bags and this year we decided on cupcakes – my fave!
Our school has a policy that you can’t bring in any homemade treats, so I just ordered some cupcakes from my local grocery store and requested the specific colors of frosting – she chose pink & teal – which matched perfectly with the little multi-colored chevron tags I wanted to make.
I created some fun cupcake toppers in the same multi-colored chevron pattern, placed the cupcakes in 9 oz. clear plastic cups, placed the cups in small cellophane bags and then tied the cute tag with a matching ribbon.
They turned out cute and the teacher LOVED that she could just hand them out to the kids as they were leaving school that day!
I created a generic tag similar to the one I created for my daughter for you to download and add to really any fun little birthday treat. Hope you enjoy them! If so, feel free to Pin and share this post with your friends!
Love it! Thanks Holly!
Thanks Lynette! Love you!!
This is my favorite way to package up cupcakes! So darn cute.
We just got a letter home from school saying that, in addition to no homemade treats, they will “not be celebrating birthdays” in class…we can’t even bring in store-bought treats or a take-home favor or balloons! Sheesh, total buzz kill. I was a teacher for 10 years before I had kids, so I understand not taking away instructional time for a party, but I think their new policy is a little extreme. As a party-obsessed mama, it makes me sad. 🙁 Guess I’ll just have to hand-deliver a special lunch to her instead.

Hi Lisa! We just got a note from our school saying we couldn’t bring in a bunch of balloons, flowers, gift baskets, etc. but luckily they said we could still do the treats if the teacher’s okay with it! I can understand why you’d be sad – I would be too! You need to have a little bit of fun on your child’s birthday! By the way, I saw the darling Farm Party you created with Lia Griffith – she (and yourself!) are amazing! Hope to see more collaborations between you two! Thanks for visiting!
