DIY Birthday Bunting Cake

It was a special little girls 8th Birthday last month and I had a cake recipe that I wanted to use as I knew she would love it. (It was a white chocolate mousse cake...yum!!!) The cake was covered with white chocolate whipped cream and so I needed to come up with a way to decorate it that would be quick and easy and turn it into a 'Birthday' cake.

Que Pinterest and my love for bunting, some card, string and straws and I came up with this...

DIY Bunting Birthday Cake

First I measured out my triangles for the bunting on some patterned card.

I used a black sharpie and copied the Strawberry Limeade font for the writing. (I have an addiction with writing fonts at the moment) I added some gold glitter to the first letters.

I glued the bunting on to some string.

I popped two straws into the cake and attached the bunting to them with small strips of tape.

Just make sure to place the candles away from the paper bunting and walaa... a lovely homemade cake turned 'Birthday Cake' that is sure to please anyone :)

This is a great idea to turn any cake into a special occasion cake. So simple with great effect, the kind of craft I love!
