Cake Topper - cake name banner topper in place on a birthday cake Here is a cute, simple, and inexpensive way of achieving a personalized cake topper. Apply this same concept for any cake: birthday, graduation, bridal shower, baby shower, and so forth.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 1 cake topper

Supplies:

watercolors
paintbrush
water
glitter or cardstock paper
needle
thread
wooden dowel (or skewers)
clear tape
glitter/glitter glue - optional
circle dot puncher

Steps:

I printed each letter on a patterned glittery cardstock paper. Using a circle dot puncher, punch out each letter. Optional - if you do not have glittery cardstock paper and want to achieve the same look, you can use glitter glue around the circle and allow to dry. Or use loose glitter and glue, then allow to dry before proceeding to the next step.

Cake Topper - print letters on cardstock, this one is a patterned glittery style

I went with a rainbow theme, so I used watercolors and went around the circle half way, followed by another color. Then overlap the same color but lighter.

Cake Topper - paint part way around the circle with one color than change (we did rainbow)

Cake Topper - the next circle is done in a similar way but the first color is slightly lighter than the one on the right side of the previous circle

Continue this process until you finish your letters and like the outcome.

Using needle and thread, thread the letters together.

Cake Topper - using a needle and thread begin threading the letters together

Cake Topper - child's name completely threaded

Cake Topper - knot end of thread to a skewer and secure with tape

Using wooden dowels (or skewers) create a knot and use tape to secure into place. Ready to place cake topper into your cake or cupcakes.

Question: Jamie Lynn Anderson Wedding Statue (Cake Topper)?

I'm looking for either the figurines, or a cake topper of the Jamie Lynn Anderson theme of "Today I Marry My Best Friend" I was told that those items are discontinued. I have got ahold of the guest book, pin and pin holder. I wouldn't mind a large 8x10 photo album with that theme as well. It is the picture of the boy with the rose behind his back and the girl with blonde hair and the white frilly dress. All help is appreciated.
