How to make mini piñata cupcake toppers

I just love a piñata. I never met a piñata I didn’t like! So this idea – a mini piñata filled with candy and perched on top of a cupcake – just makes me giddy! ; ) The idea is by Dácil of Little Cook, who created these cute cupcakes for Father’s Day last year. The original blog post is in Spanish, and the instructions read:

Materials
1 sheet of tissue paper, 1 lollipop stick, 1 package of mini smarties, 1 cupcake or muffin, needle and thread

Instructions
Cut a large circle from the tissue paper. Fill it with mini smarties and make a pouch. Insert the lollipop stick and tape the pouch closed around the stick. Sew around the tissue paper, using large stitches. Pull on the string to open the piñata, and enjoy!
