What topping do you love on your cupcakes? Cherry topped or strawberry topped? You decide!
Just for fun, I have also added some origami instructions for making toppings for your paper folded miniature cakes. You might want to combine a flat folded topping with the flat origami or a 3D topping with a 3D cake.
Or the sweet, fruity paper creations are good enough to be used on their own too. Have fun creating your paper cakes and deciding on how you're going to decorate them.
If you're using your origami on a card front, you may want to decorate the paper creation with glitter, bows, ribbon, flat backed gems, beads and button decorations. Origami should be as much fun as you can make it.
If you're not into making handmade cards, consider using your completed designs as hanging decorations that you can use in the window of your home or as decor. With a hole punch and some ribbon, it's quick to turn your creations into ornaments instead.

Paper for Cherries and Strawberries
If you're planning to make lots of toppings for your paper cakes, you'll need some plain red origami paper for cherries and strawberries to go on top.
You can get red origami sheets in individual or larger, mixed packs. I'm always running out of red because it is used so much for festive Holiday crafts too. So it's a great option to get it as an individual pack to stock up on this shade.
I prefer to use good quality scrapbook paper for card-making. It's thick (so you can't easily screw it up) and the printing looks much more professional than any designs you can print off on a home printer. Scrapbooking paper makes perfect cards.
Tips on Using Your Finished Pieces

With origami, I like to mount my completed pieces and use them on handmade cards but you can also turn them into hanging paper ornaments or make framed wall art from your finished designs.
Three-dimensional cakes make wonderful display, play or pretend food and can also be used as standing decorations.
Paper Folded Sweet Treat Designs
There are surprisingly few cup cake origami projects online. I say surprisingly because I know just how popular these cute motifs are and people love to craft with these designs.
Despite this, I've found some excellent projects. There's a flat folded origami cup cake that can be made by kids and adults alike and has the advantage that it can be stuck onto cards or mounted as wall art very easily.
Then you've got a much more advanced tutorial on making a difficult puffed up cupcake which you can use as pretend play food or hang as an ornament if you add some string.
I hope you've enjoyed reading my article today, thanks for your visit. Origami fans who enjoy using the 3D folded triangles will be pleased that I've also included a project for this. You can watch all of these as videos right on this page or there are other paper crafting projects and tutorials I've included too.
