A Cozy Cupcake Topper

With the holiday season in full swing, I'm finding lots of great items to add to the Sweet Holiday Gift Guide. Fred Flare carries these Neff sweet knit hats, which add new meaning to the phrase "cupcake topper."

And as with any good cupcake, these woolen wonders come in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

I think a few of my friend's daughters may be the happy recipients of these fab hats. They'd also be adorable accents for a Halloween costume. A cupcake costume would be a good follow-up to this donut costume I made for her this year, don't you think?

Today's the seventh day of the 10 Days of Craftsmas. I'll be back with the next DIY project of the series later today. See you then!

Fellow Minnesotan Laura Nelli's clutch was featured in L'etoile Magazine's 2010 Spring Editorial. The classic clutch by Nelle is beautiful, and it's well-paired with a hat made of cake! Thea Farrington of Perfect Day Cakes, Marie of Celebration Generation Cakes, and Sheela of Cake Eater Bakery each tailored cakes to compliment the couture.

Here are a couple of other shots that Laura fell in love with from the shoot.
