What You’ll Need

Craft Foam

Scissors

Black Marker

Paper or Cardstock

What You’ll Do

After gathering all of the necessary craft supplies, you will need to download the letter C template (below). Print it onto printer paper or cardstock. I like to print on cardstock, because it’s sturdier than printer paper.

Cut out the letter C template, and then trace it onto the craft foam. Any color craft foam will work. You could also use construction paper if you’d prefer.

Download and print the CUPCAKE template – located below. Cut it out.

Trace the cupcake template onto craft foam or construction paper. Cut it out. I made two cupcakes, but you could choose to just do one.

Cut the icing piece of the cupcake template out. Trace it onto a different color of craft foam or paper, and cut it out.

Now it’s time to assemble your cupcakes. Glue the icing portion onto the cupcake. Use a black marker to add stripes to the cupcake liner.

Cut two circles from red craft foam and glue the “cherries” on top of the cupcake icing.

Add detail to the cherries with white craft foam and brown “stems”.

Glue the cupcakes to your Letter C!
