Don't these adorable snowman and Christmas tree cupcakes from Bake Sale Toronto just make you want to smile?!  

We thought that these cupcakes would make a sweet edible gift idea for the teacher's and coaches on our gift giving list, so we came up with a couple of fun and simple ways to package them using our cupcake bags with clear inserts

Gather your supplies: cupcakes, cupcake bag with clear insert, wrapping paper, cardboard, bag header, scissors, stapler, ribbon (optional)

Step 1. Download the bag header printable. Cut out the bag headers as marked and fold in half as shown above.
Step 2. Cut the cardboard into a 4 x 4" square and cover with wrapping paper. Fold the cupcake bag's clear insert to create the sides.
Step 3. Open the cupcake bag and insert the cardboard into the bottom of the bag and then the clear insert. Place the cupcake carefully into the clear insert.

Step 4: Fold over the top of the bag to close. Try not to fold the sides too close to the cupcake - the top of the bag will be wider that the bottom of the bag.
Step 5: Staple the top of the cupcake bag closed.
Note: If you would like to write a message on the bag topper for gift giving - do that before you staple it to the cupcake bag.

Step 6: Add the bag header using staples or two sided tape. See samples above.
Optional - Use two sided tape to add ribbon to the header to hide the staples or as a decorative element.
