Dumdum Sucker Cupcake Centerpiece







Items needed to make this adorable, edible centerpiece:

*bag of dumdum suckers
*sixlet candy for filler (to look like sprinkles)

*round foam floral ball

*terracotta flower pot

*candle

*ribbon and scrapbook paper to decorate pot

*double stick tape


This arrangment is super easy to make. Start with decorating the pot. Cut decorative paper to fit around the flower pot to look like a cupcake liner. Secure with double stick tape and ribbon. Then take the floral ball and start from the top pushing the sucker stick into ball until the desired height. Continue until you have a nice cupcake top. When complete, rest the cupcake top onto the flower pot. Add the sixlet candy packs inbetween the suckers to resemble sprinkles. Last, top the cupcake with a tall candle. I had to break off a few inches from the bottom of my candle to get a desired ht. No need to poke a hole for the candle...the suckers will hold it into place. Now it's party time. Light the candle, or choose to eat up! Enjoy!
