Let's get started on this simple Balloon Garland Cake Topper!
Supplies Needed for Balloon Garland Cake Topper:
- Balloon Hand Pump
- Balloons (about 5-10)
- Bakers Twine
- Wooden Skewers
Step 1: Balloon Inflation
Begin by gently inflating a balloon until it's just about the size of a fist. Even a 12 inch balloon will inflate very small.
Tie the balloon end in a knot.
Step 2: Repeat!
Repeat gently inflating balloons in a variety of sizes. Make some of them smaller and some a little larger, depending on the size of the cake.
My cake is 6 inch round, so 7 small balloons worked perfectly!
Step 3: Tie on Twine!
Now take a piece of bakers twine a little more than twice as wide as your cake. My twine is about 16 inches long.
Tie the balloons on the twine as close together as you can without a lot of stress. Then tie the 2 ends to skewers.
Just overhand knots is all it takes to hold them in place for a gorgeous celebration piece!
Step 4: Balloon Garland Cake Topper!
Now stick the skewers into the cake at a slight angle so the balloon garland is pulled tight and dangles high above the toppings on the cake.
This cute green and gold color scheme is perfect for a Wild One, Luau or even Minecraft party! All it needs is a little graphic and it's super versatile!
