DIY Cake Toppers for Birthday & Weddings: Customize Your Own!

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

Oh boy! I need to make a bunch of these for my mom. She makes birthday cakes for all of her friends and family, but her decorating skills aren’t quite as good as the delicious cakes. That stresses her out because she wants everything beautiful. A big set of various cake toppers will be a gift she will LOVE. Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!

[@JenniferMaker]

Oh that is such a nice and thoughtful idea! Your mom will surely LOVE receiving these from you - and her friends will absolutely love them as well! 💖

[@eleanorferguson477]

Every cricut newcomer should be directed to Jennifer Maker. I love your tutorials they are so easy to follow along at the same time. It’s made my initiation into the cricut world a joy. Thank you x

[@lunasmum6869]

Lovely cakes, especially Alexa's! I love these toppers though I'm not sure when I would use one but I know where to find them if I need one! I suppose, depending on the cake, it could be laid flat on top if it was last minute (which I usually end up!) but it wouldn't be so eye catching. Thanks for all your videos. I love the way you never assume we all know how to do any action but explain it so well all through. Even if we are 'old hands' at Design Space it never hurts to refresh our minds, especially if you have a FORGETTORY instead of a memory as I have!

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much for you kind words! I'll tell Alexa that you love her cake! She'll be thrilled! Have the best day ever! :)

[@suitsandsneaks1194]

So helpful! Quick question cause I'm new to the cricut (waiting for mine to get delivered!!) say your 2 wreath layers were small enough to fit getting cut side by side on a piece of cardstock, would you just lay them out next to each other in the program and then just insert the one piece of cardstock? Thank you!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you weld them together in Design Space. 😊🌻

[@martinaduff1290]

Just wondering can you use the cricut joy to make these please love your videos 😃

[@JenniferMaker]

The toppers are around 9", Martina, and the maximum cutting width of a Joy is 4.5". So you could not cut the entire pattern. But there are ways around this! Our Facebook group loves to help others with their problems and projects, and this is something they would be able to help out with!
