Kids will tell you that the two most important parts of a birthday party are the presents and the cake. I think that wanting a nice cake is something that sticks with us into adulthood.

Yes, it needs to taste great, but it also needs to look good – especially in photos!

How to create a beautiful cake when you don’t bake

Not everyone can bake and decorate beautiful cakes, but that isn’t really necessary. All you need to do is purchase a basic cake from the store and dress it up with a pretty cake topper.

No need to write a shaky, messy ‘happy birthday’ on top. Instead, create a really nice DIY cake topper!

These aren’t just toppers . . . they’re party decor. Just as much as garlands, backdrops, cake stands, balloons, and all the other goodies.

With this in mind, I looked around to see how creative you can get when making your own cake topper. I found over 20 fun ideas that will dress up a basic store bought cake.

Some are super simple (like pom poms on skewers) and others will take a bit more time (like a gingerbread house made of graham crackers).

All of them are creative and will look great in photos. Scroll down and get some inspiration for your next party cake!
