So you want to create a cute and unique cake topper. How do you go about it? If you have no idea where to start, don’t worry - help is here! I'll guide you through the design process.
This is how I came up with this cute Taco cake topper:
- I wanted to make a Mexican theme cake topper, so I looked up some ‘cute Mexican illustrations’ on Pinterest.
- I found a cute cactus illustration - the cactus was wearing a sombrero and holding a guitar. I really liked the idea but I didn’t want the character to be a cactus (because I made a cactus cake topper a few days earlier). So I started to look for other ideas.
- I looked up ‘kawaii Mexican food illustrations’. I found a cute taco illustration. ‘That’s it!’ - I thought - ‘I’ll make a taco wearing a sombrero and holding a guitar!’.
- Next I needed to decide on the shape of the body. I chose to use the ‘Cute Kids’ templates because they are my favourite and I didn’t want the body to be plump.
- I wanted to add a few more cute features that would go together with the theme. More about that below.
