DIY Balloon Cake Topper Tips & Tricks:

To avoid the spread of glitter, place a paper plate or aluminum foil under the work area when applying glitter to the balloon.
Avoid getting glitter on the bottom of the paper straw to prevent spread of glitter to the cake.
To ensure alphabet stickers are centered on the balloon, start with middle letters and work your way out.
Choose balloons, paper straw, and glitter in a similar color palette.
