I don’t make cakes. It’s not one of my talents, but I can add little things to make the cake cuter. Ammon wanted a chocolate cake for his birthday, so he got a chocolate cake with chocolate filling, chocolate frosting and chocolate chips on the outside with brownie pieces on the top drizzled with dark and white chocolate. Mmmmmm!
Anyway, I saw this sweet little cake banner on Posh Ideas and knew it would be perfect on Ammon’s cake. And since I had everything in my craft room I was able to quickly put it together.
Cut the twine to the length you want then folded the washi tape over the twine and trim the ends. Easy peasy!
I added a “9” sticker to the center piece of tape for his age.
Cut a skewer in half, stick them in the cake then slide the straw over each skewer piece. Tie the banner on and you’ve got a quick cake decoration. You can use any colors you like to personalize it to the celebration.
He loved it and the chocolat-y goodness cake!
Ammon woke up to this when he opened his bedroom door the morning of his birthday. I just hung them by yarn taped to the door trim. I also put a marble in each balloon to help them hang straight down. He’s still having fun walking through them and making the marbles spin around in each balloon.
