  Cupcakes make the perfect gift. They are small and delicious and can be taken anywhere. They are also easy to make. You may not be a cake decorator or especially skilled at baking, but no doubt you can bake and frost a batch of cupcakes. Wrap a cupcake in a pretty package that is easy to make to create a cute little gift.
  
  

Paper Bags

• Paper bags come in all different styles, colors and sizes. They can usually be found at craft supply stores. Paper bags make good packages for cupcakes because they can be easily decorated to look however you want them to look. Use ribbon, bows, stickers, stamps, markers, glitter, paper and glue, or whatever else you can think of to turn an ordinary paper bag into a creative cupcake package.
  
  

Paper Boxes

• Paper boxes can also be decorated in all different kinds of ways and with all different kinds of materials. They are sturdy, too: a cupcake is less likely to get ruined if you put it in a box. Glue a bow or a flower on the top of a plain box to turn it into a beautiful gift. Also, add a little tag with the person's name on it to make this gift more personal.
  
  

Cellophane

• Cellophane is a see-through plastic material. It is often used to wrap gift baskets. The same technique can be used to wrap a cupcake. Place the cupcake in a square of cellophane. Bring the sides together to wrap around the cupcake. Secure the cellophane at the top with a rubber band. Tie a ribbon around the rubber band to add a decorative touch. Cellophane comes in many different colors.
