Score and cut the design. The size should be fine for a stud earring set, but feel free to adjust it, if you want to.

If your laser-cut pieces have rough edges, lightly sand them for a smooth painting surface. This will help the paint go on evenly.

  1. One cupcake liner pink, one blue:
    • Paint one base light pink and the other light blue to create a cute mismatched look.
    • Add thin vertical lines in a slightly darker shade to give the wrapper a realistic folded effect.

Let the paint dry before moving on.

Use white paint to create the swirly frosting on top. Apply 1-2 coats for full coverage, if needed, Once dry, you can lightly shade the bottom edges of the frosting with a tiny bit of light brown to add depth.

Step3: Decorate (optional)

Cherry on top? Use a small dot of red paint to add a cherry to one or both cupcakes.
Sprinkles? Use a fine brush or toothpick to dot tiny red, pink, or blue sprinkles on the frosting.

Once the paint is fully dry, apply a clear acrylic sealer to protect your earrings. A glossy finish will make them look extra sweet, while matte keeps them subtle.

I am sealing the top and the edges only now.
