Happy Birthday Cake BuntingEver iced a cake and wish you had an extra something to add - step in Birthday Cake Bunting!
This cute DIY cake accessory is perfect for any birthday - and we have included templates below for both boy / girl colours & styles.
You'll need:
- One of our free templates (see below)
- Two small skewers (cut the longer ones if necessary)
- Some string
Firstly, print one of the templates and cut out the flags.
The coloured part folds over the white part with the string in the centre.
Tip: Save time and make folds in the paper prior to cutting, so you don't have to do the individual flags later.Tie string to skewers and place in cake.
Tip: I found the string I used was a little too think and it was quite fiddly. Good idea to either pull the strands apart on thick string and use half the thickness.
Optional extras:
- Use small pegs as further accessories on the sides of the skewers.
- Stick a lolly on top of the skewer such as a raspberry.
- Feeling extra ambitious? Skewer a musk stick and use these as your poles to your bunting.

Just wanted to say thanks!! I love to make fancy birthday cakes for my two girls. With their birthdays being just a week apart and everything else that goes with birthday parties it's a real push for time.
