DIY Toadstool Cake Topper

When autumn comes, the cool weather mixed with rain cre­ates a damp environment—perfect for our mush­room pals to sprout like crazy in the forests and woods. I thought this toad­stool mush­room cake top­per would brighten up your rainy fall days—and they make a great addi­tion to a wood­land themed kid’s party.

Plunk them into cup­cakes, cakes, cook­ies, even a big old plate of fried mush­rooms. You can draw a lit­tle face on them or leave them as just pure unadul­ter­ated toadstools—it’s totally up to you!

What You Need

• One piece of red craft paper
• One smaller piece of white craft paper
• Scis­sors
• A cir­cle craft punch—I used a 3-inch wide one
• Mini hole punch
• Glue stick
• Black fine-tip marker
• Wooden BBQ sticks
• Scotch tape or washi tape

Step 1Punch out your red cir­cles using your cir­cle craft punch. Cut your cir­cles in two to form two mush­room domes. Or, use scis­sors to cut out some half-circle mush­room tops.

Step 2Cut out some thick rec­tan­gle mush­room stems from your white craft paper. Adhere to the red caps using your glue stick.

Step 3Punch out a bunch of tiny white paper cir­cles using your mini hole punch. Using a glue stick, adhere the white dots to your mush­room cap.

Step 4Get your fine-tip black marker out! Make your own friends by draw­ing some smi­ley faces on your mush­rooms. Instant pals. See how happy he is to be a mushroom?

Step 5Using scis­sors, cut your wooden BBQ skew­ers into whichever length you like. Tape your mush­rooms on with Scotch tape or washi tape.

Step 6Plunk those adorable toad­stool mush­room cake top­pers into your cup­cakes and you are all set for your woodland-themed party!

Yeah, bud­dies! Smile away like the cute lit­tle mush­rooms that you are. Hope you enjoyed this tuto­r­ial. I’ll see ya real soon!
