Happy Birthday Cake Topper

Whether you are looking for a First Birthday cake topper or a 50th birthday cake topper, there are endless fun ways to decorate your cake! One year I made an Edible Cake Pennant Banner using Fruit Roll Ups and everyone loved eating the decorations on that cake!!

However, some of my favorite places to buy premade Cake Toppers are Amazon, Meri Meri, Etsy, Party City and Target. And you might like some of these…

I got this awesome gold candle and knew I had to put in on my daughter’s cake as the main birthday cake candle.

How to make a simple Happy Birthday Cake Topper

To make a simple Happy Birthday cake topper, lay out all of the pom poms that you plan to use for your cake topper. I stuck with our party colors – pinks, yellows and oranges.

Next, based on the size of your cake, decide how many skewers you are going to use. Since I bought a small cake, I used five skewers. If you are doing a larger cake or even a sheet cake, you could easily double the number you use.

I also recommend on varying the heights of the wooden skewers to add more interest!

After you have all your supplies laid out, you can glue the pom poms onto the tops and sides of the skewers.

Have fun mixing the colors and sizes of pom poms. Some skewers I only hot glued on one pom pom and others I did a combination of three or four pom poms. The more unique your pom poms, the more fun and whimsical your cake topper will be!

You will end up with delightful wands of color!

Meri Meri sells some of my favorite party supply items and their Pastel Striped Candles were a perfect cake addition. Plus, the orange and yellow striped candles were the perfect color scheme of the party. They came in a box with pink, white, yellow and oranges.

My advice to all us busy mom’s out there, stop baking cakes and spending forever decorating them. I have a few friends who have a true talent with baking and decorating cakes (that’s you Amanda + Michelle) but to the rest of us, make life easier on yourself and simply buy a store bought cake!

I bought two mini cakes from my local grocery store and they were delicious. They were easy. And they cost $6 a piece.
