PETER PAN MOVING CAKE TOPPER

Peter Pan themed moving cake topper!!! It’s finally done! I love the lights on Tinkerbell… that might be my favorite part. This topper uses an easy peasy time mechanism - what’s difficult is making the entire theme work and incorporating the spinning piece but for this project it worked well. I just love it!

CUSTOM AVATAR OFF THE MAT & TEA PARTY NAME CAKE TOPPER

Look at this cutie pie! I had the client work with @thesaltyyankee to create an svg file. Then I got to add all the details. She’s 33 inches and just a doll ❤️❤️❤️.

I wanted to keep the dress simple because it was too hard to match and it would have been a bit distracting. Instead I went for the pom fringe, the layered metallic pink glasses, and the moving bracelet. And off to a tea party …

LIGHTNING MCQUEEN - CARS CAKE TOPPER

My video fail turned this into a comparison project LOL. So we have two different types of sticker paper as well as lights!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠There's a matte version which has this rubbery feel texture that is super cool. While the colors aren't as vibrant, I really do like the paper. This one has the multi-color lights from Amazon. Now if you're wondering why the lights aren't as bright, it's because I forgot to turn off the lights and they had been going for well over 24 hours straight. Also I have the lights behind the sticker paper.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Now onto the glossy version. I used the white lights (also from Amazon) BUT this time I cut out the sticker paper where the lights are and put vellum paper. So the lights are really bright! ⁠⁠⁠Usually I prefer the multi lights, but the bright white lights matched his smile and it was perfect for a car.

PRINCESS TIANA CAKE TOPPER

I’m absolutely in love with this Princess Tiana cake topper shaker with a flashing light for the firefly. 🥰😍💚.The light is very cool and can easily be turned on and off. Without the paper, it’s on. Slide the paper back in and it’s off. It comes in multi color or just white and both are available on my amazon shop (link is in my profile and select amazon). 💚💚💚

.I love the colors for a Tiana theme - green, gold, and white ... with a speck of purple.

MERMAID CAKE TOPPER

Another day, another cake topper shaker order. I love how all the colors shine and it’s just all so extra. 😂🥰🧜‍♀️ 🐳 💙💜💚.

Tips:

1. Foam sheet cuts on my Cricut Maker on flex foam setting using the rotary blade - cuts like 🧈.

2. For Print and Cut, I added white circles behind the purple beads so that it won’t try to cut around those tiny details. I try to avoid anything that will give me a headache. Lol. I’ve had plenty of times when the image is ruined cause it ripped during the last step.

3. Sequins is like ordering food - it’s better to have leftovers than to be left hungry. #moreisalwaysbetter 😂🤣.

MILESTONE SHAKER: FIRST TOOTH

I'm starting a new trend - milestone shakers! Ok, maybe everyone is already doing it and I'm totally late to the game. LOL. My 5 1/2 yr old went to the dentist last week and we were told there's movement! So sometime in the next 4-6 months, a tooth will be lost. She's my only one and I was feeling so emotional hearing the news. 😪😥. I knew I had to make something right away cause who knows what can happen during my quarantine fatigue.

LAWNMOWER CAKE TOPPER

This 5 yr old wanted this lawnmower. 😂🤣. Let me just say there was not a single lawnmower cake topper on Pinterest or Etsy to get ideas! It was a challenge for me to limit my glitter cardstock. 😂🤣. I hope he enjoys the John Deere mower and the hammers in the shaker. Lol.

Tip: for the slider, the Perler brand perler beads are great! Thanks to @thecraftyblock on IG for this awesome idea. ❤️💕💜.

DIY SPACE THEMED CAKE TOPPER AND SHAKER

I love this space themed cake topper shaker! 💙❤️💚💗💜Also included a Space themed 8! A perfect complement to the cake topper. Both are shakers with Cricut acetate star paper. For this 8, I tried the Xyron Inc Creative Station. Why did I wait so long to try it out! It basically turns everything into a sticker... and this case it really helped to seal in the shaker. Absolutely love it!
