In just 2 more days it will be Spring day here in our beautiful South Africa. I can already hear the birds chirping, the sun is shining and it’s getting easier to wake up earlier each day. Hooray for Spring! If you feel the same about the arrival of this fresh and lovely season, celebrate by downloading our Cake Topper pdf and follow the easy directions below. You can even use our “Hooray” bunting for other projects like a baby shower, kitchen tea, engagement or on your wedding cake.
We recently showed the viewers of the Expresso Morning show on SABC3 how to make this versatile DIY. View the Cake Topper utube video tutorial to help you along.
