Last week I showed you holiday cupcake toppers – this week I am stepping it up a notch (we are talking near-Martha levels here) with holiday pie toppers complete with mini banners! Who says cupcakes are the only baked good that should get their toppers. Our crusted friend, the pie deserves a piece of the action as well. These pie toppers are great for holiday potlucks as a unique way of labeling your contribution to the table.
Supplies:
Bamboo Skewers
String
Patterned Cardstock in your colour of choice
Scissors
White Glue
Tissue Paper
Pie (Homemade or store-bought – we won’t tell)
Optional: Alphabet Pasta
- Start off by measuring your pie (or pie plate, if you haven’t baked it yet). You will want your pie topper to sit in the middle of the pie so I would suggest a width of about four inches. Cut a piece of string to this width and tie to each skewer. Using the white glue, secure each knot with a small dot of glue. Allow a few minutes to dry.
- Depending where your inspiration takes you, cut out flower shapes or bunting banner triangles.
- Glue pieces to string, equally spaced and allow to dry.
- Optional: using dry Alphabet Pasta spell out the flavour of pie you made and glue to your mini banner.
- Place in skewers in the pie, slap on a Suzie-Homemaker-apron and prepare yourself for your friends to swoon in shock and amazement.
