DIY Valentine’s Day Tree Topper | Fake Bake Cupcake Decor (Dollar Tree DIY)

In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how I made this Valentine’s Day cupcake tree topper using mostly Dollar Tree supplies! 💕 This fake bake cupcake is the perfect statement piece for a Valentine’s tree or festive holiday décor.

I walk you step-by-step through the process of building the cupcake base, creating the frosting texture, and decorating it to look extra sweet and realistic. This project is beginner-friendly and totally customizable with your own Valentine colors and embellishments.

✨ This is a decorative piece only – not edible.
