Numbers make natural themes for birthdays (and anniversaries, too). Use them to customize everything from the cocktails to the candles on the cake. Details like these will surely add up to a good time.
To make this impressive dessert, use our templates to cut numbers from sheet cakes. Fill and coat them with buttercream, and then add an orderly procession of candies. Up the dotty effect with confetti and paper plates stamped with food coloring.
This place mat says it all. Print one of our number templates. Cut out, and trace shape onto 12-inch square scrapbook paper. Cut out shape. Tape origami paper underneath.
Ice plus numbers equals fun. Freeze water tinted with food coloring (or juice) in number-shaped ice trays. Cheers!
For a centerpiece, wrap tissue paper around a glass cylinder, and secure with tape. Stick on an adhesive vinyl number
.
No fancy piping skills are required for this dramatic display -- just arrange iced mini cupcakes into the shape of a number.
For the party's big moment, frost a cake any way you like. Center a number printout on top of the cake, and poke holes through it with a pin to site candles.
