1st Bee Day Smash Cake Topper
Description
I had fun creating this two-piece cake topper for my daughter's first birthday, which was bee themed! I made the lettering on Canva with their Apricots font for the N and E, then used one of their bee graphics for the "O". Super simple design made using the hexagon shapes on TinkerCAD. Each section is a different thickness/depth, with the "one" letters as the thickest, then the outer frame, then the small honeycombs. I printed both pieces without a raft, and it worked great! No issues. I used superglue to keep the peg in place, and figured it was fine since that part wouldn't be in her cake. This birthday theme was a lot of fun, and super easy to create things for it because the honeycomb shape is so versatile and easy to come by! I created some honeycomb cupcake toppers as well, so look out for those files too in my creations. Other decor/items I used: - Honeycomb frames (not pictured): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2979588 - Honeycomb wood thing (in background of last pic): I made it from popsicle sticks! I used this as a cupcake stand at the party as well. I ink-printed a hexagon shape edge-to-edge on a normal sheet of paper to get the angles correct, then build 2 full ones, then connected them and created the other shapes from there. I kept them together with wood glue. - Letter bowls (put cheerios in at party): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:117513 - Cake "stand": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4142956 (make the base really thick so your cake can fit and not sink or be too small - Queen Bee Banner: created on Canva - Bee burp cloths: https://www.amazon.com/Hudson-Baby-Unisex-Layered-Flannel/dp/B01NCUNV8Z?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 (I happened to already have these, so it worked out nicely!) - Sweet as can Bee balloons: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093YCYMPC/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Balloon Arch: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Way-to-Celebrate-Confetti-Latex-Balloon-Arch-Kit-Gold-White-40pcs/563751981 - Yellow Balloons added to arch: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Way-To-Celebrate-15-Ct-12-Plain-Sunray-Yellow-Balloons/325233491?athbdg=L1100 - Honey Dipper on cake: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17172 (this broke apart for me when trying to remove the minimal-infill supports I tried, so another one may be better)
