Here's an easy way to make your cupcake display look even more delectable. Use brown kraft paper, coloured paper and lacy doilies to let your guests know what flavours you have made. Write the main ingredients of each cupcake: vanilla, blueberry, chocolate, etc.
Garlands are easy to make with coloured paper or thin card and some doilies. You can even make small cones to wrap around fairy lights for evening entertainment.
For a simple, decorative garland cut out triangles to wrap over thin string and glue on a piece of lacy doily. Browse the Internet for a bird template that you can cut out to add to your garland.

Paper pinwheels never go out of fashion and it's easy to make your own. Before assembly, glue cut out doilies onto the coloured or patterned paper.
