It’s no secret that I love my Cricut Machine. In fact, I have several of them, and they are absolutely the work horses of my craft room. My son recently turned 16. So, I took the opportunity to create a DIY Party Cake Topper with my Cricut. It was perfect, and I couldn’t love it more!

If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional.
Party with Cricut
I can’t think of many parties that I have hosted with out using my Cricut machine for something. My Cricut Explore Air 2 and Maker machines can make nearly any party decoration.
My very favorite Cricut party piece is the DIY Cactus Cupcake Stand I made several years ago. And, last year, I hosted a Cookies and Milk Party that I made all of the decorations for using my Cricut!
Make a Cake Topper with Cricut
This project is fairly simple, but, I saved the cut file for you if you want to make the same one.

![Cricut Design Space Screen Shot Happy Birthday](https://everydaypartymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Everyday-Party-Magazine-DIY-Cake-Topper-7-1024x611.png)
Open Design Space and select a file or type the text you want to use.
Step 2

![DS Screen Shot](https://everydaypartymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Everyday-Party-Magazine-DIY-Cake-Topper-3-1024x531.png)
Un-group or Slice the Cut File so that you can weld the text or image together.
Step 3
![DS Weld Text](https://everydaypartymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Everyday-Party-Magazine-DIY-Cake-Topper-4-1024x530.png)
Move the text or images so that they are touching in several spots. This will create a stronger cake topper.
Step 4
![Cricut DS Cutting Screen](https://everydaypartymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Everyday-Party-Magazine-DIY-Cake-Topper-9-1024x546.png)
Send the project to cut.
Step 5
Weed the excess card stock. And peel the cutting mat off of the card stock. This will keep your card stock rigid.
Step 6
Apply a bead of hot glue to the bamboo skewer and glue the card stock image or text to the skewer. You may need to use two skewers if you have a large image.
Step 7 – Optional
You can cut a second image and glue it to the back of the first one to hide the skewer(s) and make the cake topper more sturdy.
