Oh cake toppers, how I love you so, especially when you are made into ribbon bunting from my little scraps. This little cake topper was actually dreamt up as a simple prop, while shooting this wooden cake stand. It was just looking a little bare without any cake topper flair. If this can be made mid-shoot, it’s definitely a quick and easy addition to any cake.
What You Need:
Ribbon and cord scraps in various colours and thicknesses
Glue
2 Kebab sticks
Cord, string or strong cotton

Ribbon Bunting Steps:
- Cut your ribbon into small pieces, varying slightly in length.
- Tie a piece of cord or string to the top of one kebab stick. This piece must be long enough for the width of the cake, plus a little to hang past the edges.
- Starting at one end, place a piece of ribbon under the string and dot some glue in the middle (where you will fold the ribbon in half).
- Fold the ribbon in half and press down on the glued section.
- Continue along the string until you have enough for your topper.
- Tie the other end of the cord to the second kebab stick.
- Trim the ends of the ribbon and cord to suit your look.
