Birthday Craft Projects: Handmade Cake Toppers & a Cheers-Worthy Card!

I’ve been in full-on birthday mode for the last few months! I’ve made lots of birthday cards and cake toppers, so here’s a little round-up of what I created for recent celebrations – including my own! 

Happy Birthday to Me! – My Own Cake Topper 

Yes, I made my own birthday cake topper, and I’m proud of it! It was the perfect way to personalize my cake and add a touch of handmade charm to the day. 

Unfortunately, I forgot to buy my own cake – but luckily, the complimentary cake from CafĂ© Hyatt Regency Manila saved the day. 


I went with a clean, fun design that simply read "Happy Birthday to Me" – because why not celebrate yourself? I used the Thinker Font, which you can find here

17th Birthday Cake Topper

For a special 17th birthday celebration, I crafted a topper that read “Ethan Ranked Up to 17” using the Somekind Font



Fun fact: I actually made two versions of this topper because I didn’t like the color combination of the first one – perfectionist problems, right? 

70th Birthday Cake Topper 

A milestone birthday deserves something extra special. For this one, I created a topper in silver and black cardstock, giving it a classy and elegant vibe. I used the Chirp Font for a clean and modern look. 


Pro tip: Layering metallic cardstock adds instant sophistication! 

Happy Beer-day! – A Fun Birthday Easel Card

What’s a birthday without a card? This one’s for the beer lovers out there! 

I designed a birthday easel card featuring the punny phrase: “Happy Beer-day!” It has a layered design with 3D beer mugs, frothy foam, and bubbles – all made from cardstock. 

The easel style means it stands on its own, making it perfect for display.

Crafting these birthday projects reminded me of the meaning and value of handmade creations. Whether it's a simple cake topper or an elaborate card, adding your personal touch makes any celebration extra special. 

Until the next craft project – happy crafting!
