My brother and I are very close. This year for his birthday, I wanted to make his birthday cake special. So I decided to turn Facebook photos into cake toppers to place all over his peanut butter and chocolate birthday cake. It was quick, easy, and inexpensive to do.
Time: 15-20 Minutes
Materials:
- 1.5” Circle Craft Punch
- 2” Circle Craft Punch
- Photos
- Cardstock
- Glue Stick
- Skewers
- Mixed Media Scissors
- Washi Tape

Instructions:
First, search Facebook for the photos you want and save them to your computer. Crop and resize them to about 2.5” X 2.5” or 3” X 3”. I placed them in a Word document. Cut the rows out and punch each photo out with a 1.5” circle craft punch. Punch out a 2” circle out of colored cardstock to match your color scheme; one for each photo. Glue the photo to the center of the cardstock circle. Cut wood skewers in half with a pair of scissors. Use patterned washi tape to tape the skewers to the back of each photo. Arrange the photos in different heights on the cake.
Personalizing a cake like this is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, or other special occasions. Play around with the color and pattern of the cardstock and washi tape to match the party theme.
