HCBC - Hawaiian Cake Toppers


Thanks to a referral from a friend, a new customer reached out to me for two custom Pineapple/Hibiscus/Leaf cake toppers. She was inspired by the following Pinterest/Etsy image and was interested in adding "Double Trouble" and "Dirty Thirty" to the cake topper.

Etsy Shop: Oodalollie

The fern and banana leaf vectors were found online, each were slightly customized in Cricut Design Space. I created a unique pineapple from a few vector images online, and used the following Cricut images: Hibiscus #M32771 and Luau #M46987. The fonts for the verbiage is "SignPainter".


When searching Cricut images and Pinterest for Paper Hibiscus tutorials, I was a little un-inspired because most were very basic hibiscus images (simple gluing of flat layers) or very realistic looking Crepe Paper Hibiscus flowers. I have experience making 3D paper flowers, and so I took a stab at creating a 3D hibiscus from 65lb cardstock that looked realistic.



I used my McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kit large stylus to shape the leaves, and added shading using copic markers and a white gel pen. I used a simple paper quilled coil to create a base to glue the stamen onto.
