iLoveToCreate Blog: Pac-Man Inspired Cupcake Toppers

As it happens, sometimes the cake theme you want isn't readily available at the local party store. This was the case when my son Tristan said he wanted a video game themed birthday. Since we love the old school games as much as the new, I decided that for his class cupcakes what better icon to top each than the pop-culture mainstay, Pac-Man and friends. Using a spreadsheet program on my computer I "drew" my version of the P-man and his ghost-emies; then turned them in to our very own, dessert decor. Here's how I did it, and you can too!

Using your favorite photo software, layout images the way you'd like them to be printed. I just repeated each image in a row, a few times on a letter sized template. Print out.
