I had a lot of fun creating these designs for a chic and modern weddingcake topper! I used some of my favorite script and sans serif fonts to create custom topper designs that can be found at the bottom of the post to download and use for your own cakes!
If you are creating your own designs, I recommend adding a stroke to the lettering or underscoring slenderfonts with a thick line to make sure that the toppers can hold their rigid shape. The glitter cardstock offers a good base for a free standing topper, but adding poster board backing ensures a firmer and longer lasting design!
Check out my step by step tutorial below!
Materials –
- The Cricut machine of your choice (I have an Explore Air)
- Cricut Weeding Tool + Spatula
- Glitter Cardstock
- Poster Board(optional but recommended)
- Bamboo Skewers
- ModPodge or SuperGlue
- Paintbrush
- Bamboo Skewers
