(Fun tip: Make horns in primary colors for a toddler’s cake, or use the birthday boy or girl’s favorite colors.)
Precocious princess
Here’s a cake topper that’s fit for a princess. Made from simple ingredients like pink paper, ruffled streamers and gold glitter, this pretty princess-pleaser will dress up your royal birthday confection with aplomb (and possibly applause).
Crash the party
This one-of-a-kind cake topper is strategically designed to decimate anyone’s birthday blues. And the separate pieces make it look like the cake has been shot clean through. Target acquired!
