Kids' Birthday Cake Ideas: Character Toppers That Save the Day

Every parent knows the moment: your child announces the party theme, and it is very specific. The good news is you do not need to sculpt anything out of fondant at midnight. A printed edible topper does the character work; you just need a round cake with reasonably smooth icing.

The ten-minute hero cake

  1. Buy or bake a plain round cake - supermarket mud cakes are perfect.
  2. Choose a topper from our cake topper range - use the Kids TV filter to jump straight to the favourites.
  3. Peel, place, smooth. Done. Take the credit.

Match the rest of the party

Pick two or three colours from the topper design and repeat them in balloons, plates and napkins. The cake becomes the centrepiece and everything looks intentional, even if you bought it all at the supermarket on Thursday night.

Make it personal

Want their name on it? Our personalised cookies make brilliant matching party favours, printed with the same theme, a photo, or each guest's name.

Every topper is printed to order in Wellington and couriered overnight NZ-wide, so even a last-minute party is safe.
