When autumn comes, the cool weather mixed with rain creates a damp environment—perfect for our mushroom pals to sprout like crazy in the forests and woods. I thought this toadstool mushroom cake topper would brighten up your rainy fall days—and they make a great addition to a woodland themed kid’s party.

Plunk them into cupcakes, cakes, cookies, even a big old plate of fried mushrooms. You can draw a little face on them or leave them as just pure unadulterated toadstools—it’s totally up to you!

What You Need

• One piece of red craft paper
• One smaller piece of white craft paper
• Scissors
• A circle craft punch—I used a 3-inch wide one
• Mini hole punch
• Glue stick
• Black fine-tip marker
• Wooden BBQ sticks
• Scotch tape or washi tape

Step 1
Punch out your red circles using your circle craft punch. Cut your circles in two to form two mushroom domes. Or, use scissors to cut out some half-circle mushroom tops.

Step 2
Cut out some thick rectangle mushroom stems from your white craft paper. Adhere to the red caps using your glue stick.

Step 3
Punch out a bunch of tiny white paper circles using your mini hole punch. Using a glue stick, adhere the white dots to your mushroom cap.

Step 4
Get your fine-tip black marker out! Make your own friends by drawing some smiley faces on your mushrooms. Instant pals. See how happy he is to be a mushroom?

Step 5
Using scissors, cut your wooden BBQ skewers into whichever length you like. Tape your mushrooms on with Scotch tape or washi tape.

Step 6
Plunk those adorable toadstool mushroom cake toppers into your cupcakes and you are all set for your woodland-themed party!
