DIY Cake Toppers (From Plain to Fabulous!)

It happens sometimes, right? When you have tons in your list that you forgot order a special cake for your party or you simply do not have a budget for that customized cake your daughter would surely love...

Well, moms are like magicians so those little hiccups can easily be sorted out with a bowl full of patience and mountains of creativity. Yes, we can decorate our own cakes!

Here are some ideas:

Cake flags and buntings work like magic for decorating or topping up round cakes..



Or light it up with candles



For my daughter's birthday party in school, I didn't buy customized cake but settled for a regular round cake. To liven up the cake, I used fancy candles.



My aunt found this cute and stylish tiny candelabra and turned a plain chocolate cake into an awesome party cake! Everyone wants to blow those tiny candles!


There are dozens of ideas you can explore with decorating a plain cake. No need to put a hole in your pocket for a cake that's elegantly styled but 3/4 styro you can't even serve to all your guests.

Be creative and resourceful! You'll be surprised with what you can come up with.

Party Venue: Castillo Royale Ortigas

If you're up and about to executing a Royal themed party, this is THE venue. Castillo Royale perfectly suits a magical party fit for a princess to be. 


Look at that ceilings with fabulous swags! It's even more charming when the lights are on and with extra decorations. I was shown a photo of a sample basic setup and it's already good as it is.



A powder/dressing room is also provided at the mezzanine. Brides or debutantes can have the dramatic entrance through the elegant staircase.


This ballroom is at the 5th Floor of MORE Building and can accommodate up to 350 guests. It is huge, clean (as it is relatively new) and without obstructing pillars.




Rental fee is at Php40,000 for 4 hours use. It includes 15 tables and 150 pieces of Tiffany chairs. There's a corkage fee for clients bringing outside caterers since they also have packages that includes food and complete amenities.
