I
think I am way too much using these washi tapes {here}. But I must admit that I
love working with them and photograph them. This time I am trying to
create a sweet valentine cup cake toppers out of them. This Lemon cup
cakes are super easy to make because it is a pre-mix cake out of the
box. I am not a fan of pre-mix cake but sometimes it is practical and
with a little bit additional of lemon juice, vanilla, it tastes as good
as like when you are making it out of scratch.
Cake Topper tutorial.
What you need.
Start
cutting and design the washi tape to put on the heart shape cut outs.
You can use your imagination on the design. You can make vertical or
horizontal design and alternate the pattern of washi tape or you can use
one pattern of washi tape entirely. It is up to you.
hen
finished cover the entire surface front and back of the two heart
cutouts then using sewing machine; sew them to join them together. Do
not sew all the way down to the bottom of the heart cutouts.
Using glue gun, put a glue on the tip of the tooth pick and insert in between heart cutouts.
