Step-by-step
Step 1
To decorate the cake toppers, you’ll need the edding 1200 colour pen in the colours of your choice. In this example, we’ve used the pastel shades which come in a set of 6. First, download the template and print out a copy.
Step 2
You’ll find the words “Happy b-day” in three different sizes on the template. Choose whichever version you prefer and which best fits your cake. Next, colour in all of the letters in bright colours, one section at a time.
Step 3
The finish will look particularly smooth if you always colour in the same direction (from top to bottom, for example).
Step 4
Once you’ve finished colouring, cut the letters out, ensuring that each word’s letters remain attached to each other.
Step 5
Finally, stick the words “HAPPY” and “B-DAY” onto separate wooden skewers using an adhesive strip. Your cake toppers are now ready!
