Add a Birthday Cupcake Topper for a special touch!
Cake and Cupcake Toppers are a quick and easy way to make any occasion just a little bit more special! I have a variety of themes for sale but want you to give it a try with this free “Happy BDay” design.
There are 4 file types provided: SVG, DXF, PNG & EPS
The files are sized for cupcakes (870 x 625 pixels at 300 dpi or 2.9” x 2.1”) The SVG, DXF & EPS are all vector formats so you can make them larger if you want to use them for a cake.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR CUPCAKE TOPPER:
- Using your Cricut, Silhouette or Scan N Cut, cut TWO “Happy BDay” pieces: one
the way the file is designed (so you can read it) and one in reverse / mirrored
(so it’s backwards.) - Put adhesive dots on the wrong side of one of the pieces of cut paper.
- Line up the other cut paper so the two halves match – wrong sides of the paper
together. - Press gently together except where you will insert the toothpick.
- Cover about to ” of the toothpick with glue.
- Insert it in between the two layers of paper, press to adhere.
- Allow to dry.
- Place in cupcake(s).
These are an easy and unique addition to birthday cards you mail to friends and family. I keep some on hand and store them with my birthday cards so they are ready to go!
If you try this and get hooked – like I am designing them – there are other themes available and more on the way. (Don’t see a theme you’d like? Leave a comment and I’ll add it to my to-do list.)

The Tiara Happy Birthday Cake Topper designs allow you to add the age of the birthday person in a heart right in the tiara! I created a video for both Cricut and Silhouette to show you how to set them up and assemble them – the process is the same for all of my designs.
