If you liked the Cupcake Collars we designed for The Fourth of July, you’ll love the new ones I’ve just created for the fall season. Cupcake Collars are a fun way to dress up your cupcakes, and this latest set is a great way to celebrate autumn.
Cupcake Collars are really easy to use, and can add a super cute touch to ordinary cupcakes. We have a growing collection of them available on our dedicated site, CupcakeCollars.com, where you can purchase the PDF designs for less than a dollar. Then print each PDF as many times as you like and make an unlimited number of collars.
But because we love you, our loyal Chica and Jo readers, we’re offering one of the designs from this collection here, for free! Find out which one at the end of this post.
Our fall collection includes an acorn, maple leaf, and pumpkin. We love how they look when simply decorated with coordinating swirls of frosting.
If you’re new to Cupcake Collars, here’s a tutorial to show you just how easy they are to use.
Start by purchasing our PDF design templates from CupcakeCollars.com, then print out as many copies as you need onto white cardstock. To protect the collars from the moisture of your frosting, and to make them durable enough to re-use again in the future, you may want to also laminate them. Laminating is really easy with simple laminating sheets or for even better results, use a thermal laminator machine.
Once your collars are printed and laminated, just cut them out with regular scissors.
To put a collar on a cupcake, just slip the cupcake into the hole and secure from underneath with a couple of pieces of household tape.
Just look how cute they are already!
Then you’re ready to frost them using your favorite frosting in a matching color (or try our swirled frosting technique for an extra punch).
These cupcakes would be perfect for a fall-themed bridal shower, wedding, or anniversary party. Heck, they would be a fun and unexpected dessert to serve at just about any fall event you’ve got planned!
Now that you’ve seen how great these fall Cupcake Collars are, here’s the free one that I promised you!

Thanks, belle. I’ve got lots more designs in mind for other holidays, too
These are just adorable !!
Thanks so much, I love your cupcake collars! I’ll be linking.
Thanks Diane and Rachel!
I love this project so much!! Thank you Chica and Jo!
OMGosh! I love these & can’t wait to see some Christmas ones! Thanks so much!
These are just great. I think they will be nice for kids to take to school also and slip around the already baked cupcakes from a bakeshop. Will look great on our Thanksgiving table also and the pumpkin ones for a Halloween party. Thanks alot for sharing.
Christy, thanks!
Terri, they’ll be here before too much longer
Kathy, that’s a great idea to spiff up cupcakes that are headed to school. I’m planning to make a couple more designs to go with the pumpkin for Halloween, so keep checking back.
so adorable! Love them, keep them coming, maybe you already have flowers in mind for spring? What about beach balls for summer?
Thanks Stefani. Keep an eye out, lots more to come!
How do you eat the cupcakes with these attached to them? The first thing you usually do with a cupcake is remove the wrapper… but these now prevent that, yeah?
Hi Jenna. You just peel off the collar before eating, just like you would the wrapper
Thanks for sharing….cupcakes are big for every party and gathering. How about St Pats day, Easter and Spring bridal showers? I bet you are already started on all the above. Thanks again. Love your site.
Hi evitalouise, and thanks! We have lots more designs in the works for the upcoming holidays, so be sure to keep checking back!
hey how about birthday ones?
Hi danielle! We have several birthday collar designs available on CupcakeCollars.com
Are these collars for ‘mini cupcakes’? I printed them out and the opening is very small.
Casey, the Collars are for regular sized cupcakes. The two Collars printed on one page should take up most of the room from left to right. The opening should be about 1 3/4 of an inch.
Thank you so much for this great idea adn for the free collar sample!
