Enhance a cake with an enchanting fairy-inspired topper.
Create an ethereal, pastel frosting-topped cake for a young girl's fairy-themed birthday party. Design a one-of-a-kind cake using an eye-catching fairy-inspired topper. Buy a topper from a party, cake or craft supply store, or make one yourself for a personalized touch. An edible topper is a sweet option, while a figurine-style topper will become a cherished reminder of the birthday party.
Tinkerbell-Inspired Topper
If you are hosting a Tinkerbell-themed birthday party for your daughter, design a themed cake topper using a combination of store-bought and handmade items. Decorate a dome-shaped cake with white, pink or purple buttercream frosting. Use icing or a frosting bag to write a special message on the cake. To create the enchanting topper, insert a new plastic Tinkerbell doll through the center of the top of the cake, so only the doll's torso, head and arms are visible. Fill a tiny-tipped pastry bag with green frosting and use it to create Tinkerbell's dress. Cover the doll's torso with a frosting bodice and extend the dress-inspired design over the top of the cake.
Enchanted Garden-Themed Cake
Transform a sheet cake into an enchanted garden using brightly colored frosting and fairy-shaped toppers. Cover a cake with a layer of grass green fondant or buttercream frosting to set the stage for the look. Create flower patterns all over the cake using bright pink, orange, purple and yellow frosting-filled pastry bags equipped with floral-shaped tips; use a separate pastry bag for each color to avoid mixing the hues. Create a "pond" with turquoise frosting. Finish the cake by placing a variety of plastic fairy-inspired cake toppers all around the top to resemble a "fairy garden gathering."
Fairy Tale Cake
Delight the birthday girl with a pastel-hued cake fit for a fairy tale princess. Cover a two-layer cake with decadent white fondant and wrap a pink organza ribbon around the bottom layer for a sweet look. Create light pink frosting flowers all over the bottom layer using a pastry bag featuring a floral tip. As another option, insert heart, flower or star-shaped plastic picks in the bottom cake layer. Top the cake with an elegant winged fairy figurine wearing a frothy pink tulle skirt and carrying a banner reading "Happy Birthday."
