Cricut Cake Topper Ideas

In this video I’ll be sharing with you three DIY cake topper ideas that you can make with your Cricut! I’ve had my Cricut Maker for almost a year and all I’ve been doing is experimenting with TONS of paper flower projects. So, I thought it would be fun to share my newest Cricut project ideas in this video. For Cake Toppers 1 and 3, I’m using a template that is available for download on my Etsy shop. But of course, you can use this tutorial as an inspiration to create your own! For Cake Topper 2, I’ll be sharing how I put it together on Cricut Design Space. (I promise, it’s super simple once you get the hang of it.) All three cake toppers feature mini stacked and rolled paper flowers which add the perfect touch! Below is a breakdown of the materials you will need to recreate these cake toppers.
