Decorate edges with silver and gold star garland and top with a matching wrapped gift or tinsel surrounding a bottle of champagne.

String candy necklaces around the edges and glue candy rings and suckers every few inches.
Top with a jar of jelly beans. Affix crayons to the edges and place a drawing by the birthday boy or girl on top.

Drape edges with vintage hankies and top with a potted miniature rose plant.
Run colorful bric-a-brac along the edges and top with a balloon bouquet.

Trim edges with pink or blue gingham ribbon, hot-gluing baby rattles or diaper pins every few inches. Top with a pastel teddy bear. Alternate the cupcakes with wooden alphabet blocks and top with a toy sailboat.
