Is anyone else getting a tad excited about the Royal Wedding? I'm not a monarchist by any sense of the word but I am a huge fan of chintzy touristy tatt, Bank Holiday's and the added excuse to throw a shindig. I'll be spending my extra bank holiday checking out Kate's frock with a teacup full of gin and a mouthful of cake, comedy fascinator worn at a jaunty angle and surrounded by a lot of royal junk.

My Mum has already bestowed some sugar paper Royal couple cupcake toppers upon me but I thought I'd make some too to jazz it up a bit. Undoubtedly the Post Office will release some hideous wedding commemorative stamps closer to the time but for now I'll have to stick with Her Majesty's delightful mug.
To make these I drew round the bottom of a small glass a few times for my outer circle template on a sheet of thin card , painted them in rather garish Union Jack hues and cut them out. Stick two circles back to back with a tooth pick wedged firmly between them. Add another brightly painted circle of card, with your stamp artfully glued in the middle. If you're like me, it will be with all the precision of a three year old! Tie a pretty piece of ribbon in a bow around your cocktail stick and "TA-DAHHHHHH". One very haphazard but very attractive cupcake topper.

If you've get any other ideas for Royal Wedding party makes then please share! I've got the bug.

I'll be mostly burning an effigy of the happy Miss Middleton-Windsor whilst dressed as the Queen and shouting such things as 'don't you go all Diana on me you whore' and the like.
