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.
