Happy June!   It’s Anne from Circus Berry posting today, sharing a fun and spark-tacular DIY glitter star cake topper with you all.  It is just what you need for a little bit of glam on top of your dessert and is especially great for the Fourth of July holiday.  I, on the other hand, used it to dress up a special, post-dance recital treat for my daughter this past weekend.  Anytime there is a good excuse to celebrate in the Circus Berry household, we do it!

I used silver glitter card stock.  Change the colors to something more patriotic and you are good to go this Independence Day.

So, take your glitter card stock and cut out your stars (using the good old trace and cut method or a die-cutting machine).  Hot glue the stars onto a length of baker’s twine, and glue the ends to some festive paper straws.  Add a star to top each straw and done!

My daughter’s response when she saw a little sparkle on top of her special cookie cake marking another successful dance year…”Oh, Mommy!  I just love this!”

And isn’t that what it is all about?

Happy Summer.  Enjoy!
