This is a Beary Patriotic Cupcake
While a few of the choices for the Keepsake Cupcake series
have been a surprise, I’ve loved all of the choices. That’s the case with Star-Spangled Bear, the
patriotic entry in this yearlong series.
Obviously from the name, we have a bear on top of the
cupcake. It’s a cute, teddy bear type of
bear, and he’s sticking out of the frosting with a red, white, and blue top hat
on. He’s holding two stars in his hand,
one blue and one white. There are some
other stars scattered around the top of the cupcake. As to the cupcake itself, a bit of the red
velvet is peaking out between the white frosting and the blue cupcake liner.
Outside of the bear, the color scheme is very obviously
patriotic. If you hadn’t seen the name
of the ornament, you’d know it was a patriotic themed cupcake. It looks great and is perfect to have out
during the Memorial Day to Fourth of July window.
I mentioned early thinking of one other animal we could have
had here, and that’s a bald eagle. It is
the national bird for the United States after all. However, I think this works out better. The images I’m picturing in my mind of an
eagle on cupcake don’t look nearly as good.
Plus, we’ve got a bird just a couple months back that look amazing, so really,
this is perfect.
Naturally, with the flat cupcake base, this ornament will
sit perfectly in any display. And you
will find the 12 in a Christmas tree series marker on the bottom as well.
The hook for hanging the ornament is on the top hat. He tips ever so slightly to the left, but
odds are you will never notice.
Cute has been the name of the game for most of these
cupcakes, and Star-Spangled Bear is the perfect continuation of that. If you decorate for the American patriotic
holidays, you’ll definitely want to add it to your collection.
Enjoy the cuteness of the Keepsake Cupcakes series.

I thought the Star-Spangled Bear was perfect (and adorable) too! This is the first time I bought all of the monthly ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI have three sets of monthly ornaments. I'm kind of glad they are giving that idea a break this year. I love the sets, but it gets to be a lot.
