Celebrate Mother’s Day with a Free Printable Cake Topper: Step-by-Step Guide and Decorating Tips
Mother’s Day is a time to show appreciation for the incredible mothers in our lives. What better way to celebrate than with a beautifully decorated cake and a little party for mom at home? In this blog post, we’ll talk about how to make mom’s day special right at home and I’ll guide you through creating a stunning cake topper using a free printable design. Let’s make this Mother’s Day extra special!
Here are some ideas for Mother’s Day:
1. Order from her favorite restaurant. You’ll give Mom her favorite food and help out your local business.
2. The kids can make mom a simple cake or cupcakes (We use a cake mix. The easiest way to make cake ever!). Decorate them with these lovely cake and cupcake toppers I designed just for you! You can download them at the bottom of the post.
3. Got some Rice Krispy? Make her these cute heart-shaped Rice Krispy treats instead of cupcakes. You can still stick your free cupcake toppers on them.
The party is never complete without a banner. Print out the matching Happy Mother’s Day banner and hang it on your mantel or above the cake.
3. Pamper her with some lovely gift sets. I’m hinting to my husband to get me this gift set or this care package that includes an adorable tumbler. If these don’t get there on time. Your local drug store such as Walgreen or CVS might have some cute gift sets. If you’re worried about going to the store ask if they offer deliveries of those items along with essentials.
4. Make a beautiful Mother’s Day gift set yourself. Buy some of her favorite makeup or nail polish. Add in her favorite snacks that she can’t normally eat in front of the kids and a card. She’ll love you for it.
5. If mom loves flowers, you can still get them at your local grocery store as well as home improvement stores, such as Home Depot. My husband got me some peonies from Home Depot and planted them for me in our garden. He’s awfully sweet that husband of mine!
6. The best gift you can give Mom during this time of quarantine is a clean house and maybe 2 hours of quiet time after you eat the homemade Mother’s Day cake.
There you have it. Some very simple ways to give mom her best Mother’s Day yet! Set up the house for a party with banners, cake, and cupcakes. Gift her with her care package and some love this Mother’s Day!
Save the file to your computer and open it using a PDF reader.
Load your printer with the chosen high-quality paper or cardstock.
Print the cake topper template, ensuring the printer settings are set to “Actual Size” for accurate dimensions.
Once printed, allow the ink to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Cutting and Preparing the Cake Topper:
Carefully cut out the cake topper along the designated lines using sharp scissors or a craft knife.
Take your time to achieve clean and precise cuts.
If you have a cutting machine, you can use it as an alternative method for cutting out the topper.
Decorating the Cake Topper:
Now comes the fun part—decorating your cake topper!
Use colored markers to add vibrant hues and personalize the design.
Consider adding a touch of sparkle by applying glitter to specific areas.
If you have adhesive gems, place them strategically to enhance the topper’s visual appeal.
Let your creativity flow and make it uniquely beautiful!
Placing the Topper on the Cake:
Once you’re satisfied with the decoration, it’s time to place the topper on the cake.
Carefully insert toothpicks or small skewers into the bottom of the topper to create support.
Gently position the topper on the cake, taking into account the size and stability of the cake.
If needed, adjust the positioning for the best visual effect.
Remember to remove the topper before serving the cake.

Mother’s Day. The one day a year we take the time to celebrate moms. Can I just say I hate these kinds of holidays?! Moms should be celebrated every day. Same for dads.
Anyway, I was going to write about what I really want for Mother’s Day in a lovely sinfully bad grammar post, but Andrea from Selfies to Selfless said it best so here is the link to her post:
Did you get to read it? No? I’ll wait…la di da di da.
Done? Is she so right, moms? On Mother’s Day I like not to be mommy-ing. I would LOVE a good 5-hour nap. I also want not to be mommy-ing for my birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day!
Besides that one gift here are some other things that I might like for lovely Mother’s Day.
1. A “thank you” from my 4-year old for being the BEST MOM EVER. I remember one time my son said “Thanks for the meatballs. They are great (thumbs up!). I was elated…that Trader Joe’s made such wonderful microwavable meatballs for under 2 minutes and I get to take the credit for it.
2. A professional cleaning service for my messy apartment. I don’t even want to get into it. Ever wonder why I never post pictures of my work space?
3. While we’re at it, I would also love a professional organization person to come organize my house. What are those people called? Google tells me they are called professional organizer. Duh!
4. A massage once a month for the rest of my life. I realized I start sitting and sleeping in all weird positions after having kids. Care to see all the wonderful sleeping position you might encounter or have encountered if you sleep with your kid? Check this diagramfrom How To Be A Dad. If you haven’t check this website out you should. Here is a great post about transforming the toddler car into a cool car. Or this Universal Child Birth Reaction Assessment.
5. Maybe flowers and a card. Ok. I admit it! I will take some flowers and a card. I’m a sucker for cards. I really just want a day off from mommy-ing and a card.
Here are two Mother’s Day cards I designed for you to download to give your mom/wife who loves cards as much as I do.
These are my favorite personalized jewelry that I found on Etsy, my go-to place for everything unique. Click on item or link at bottom of pictures for more info.
Let me know if you want some more gift guides. Maybe gift guide for a moms who love wine.
Have a great Mother’s Day. Pick up the phone and call her. ANY.DAY.OF.THE.YEAR. Not just Mother’s Day!!!
