One of my favorite parts of all the New Years celebrations are the fireworks. When it’s so dark and cold, a bright pop of color and sparks is just the thing to boost my mood! The problem is, with little kids, real fireworks aren’t always the most practical option. That’s why I’m in love with these paper firework cake toppers! They’re still bright, fun, and happy without the drawbacks of fire and little kids. These colorful fireworks are a stunning scene when arranged atop an all-black cake to resemble the night sky. Dramatic and playful! All you’ll need is colored paper and some skewers. We’ve provided templates you can use on your die cut machine or you can hand cut them too. What are you doing for the holiday? We want to know your plans!
