I love using cake toppers to help decorate birthday cakes and these fairy cake toppers will make your little girl's dreams of a fairy birthday cake come true in an even bigger way than she would imagine - her face will light up like it's Christmas morning!
Fairies are a very popular theme for girls' birthday cakes whether they are in love with Tinkerbell and the Disney Fairies or whether they just love all fairies.
Let's go shopping for some gorgeous fairy birthday cake toppers to help you make your daughter's birthday even more special....
Edible Fairy Cake Toppers - Birthday Cake Decals
This beautiful fairy cake above is nice and bright, but if your child loves the Disney fairies then she might prefer the two different edible cake decals below.

Non-Edible Fairy Cake Toppers
When it comes to non-edible fairy cake toppers there's a whole world of fairies for you to choose from. These are great because you can do some cake decorating of your own and combine it with toppers to produce a cake that will make your little girl's eyes pop out of her head.Toppers can be used for both big birthday cakes as well as cupcakes as you can see below.
Fairy Birthday Cake and Birthday Cupcakes
The main cake simply has a pink buttercream frosting - the fairy topper is then placed on the top and you can use candy flower cake decorations and silver cabouchons to decorate the cake around the fairy. Adding a ribbon is something that I always seem to find hard (I don't know why), but to be honest I wouldn't bother I would just leave candy flowers and cabouchons around the side and I'm sure any little girl would be more than happy with the result.
Tinkerbell Birthday Cake Toppers
You could create a Tinkerbell cake in much the same way as the one above by simply icing the cake in your daughter's favorite colored icing and adding edible candy flowers and cabouchons with this Tinkerbell figurine taking pride of place as a cake topperWestland Giftware Disney Tinker Bell Mini Figurine, 3-1/4-InchCheck Price
This is a gorgeous figurine that does a great job doubling up as a cake topper, gift and play toy for after the party is over and the cake is eaten!
The following Tinkerbell cake topper also includes a fairy wand which is a nice touch.
Disney Fairies Cake Topper
This plastic cake topper doesn't require any extra decoration simply add it to an iced cake and you have Tinkerbell with her fairy friends just waiting to wish your little princess a happy birthday.
However, if you did want to do a bit of the cake decorating you can as you see with this cake that uses the same Disney Fairies cake topper above.
Adding Figurines to Your Fairy Birthday Cake
You don't have to stick to using actual cake toppers to decorate your birthday cake, you can use small figurines if you like. I don't know if you enjoy cake decorating or not, but I actually do - I just have problems making anything with a face like fairies, princesses or animals so I can't make a cake exactly like the one below, but I can make one that will impress my daughter just as much.....
Fairy Toadstool Birthday Cake
Now you can create something similar with fondant and fairy figurines. First get your un-iced cake (I usually buy mine from the supermarket as opposed to making one as I want to spend all my time decorating). I would color some of your fondant green and use that as your 'base' on the cake - it doesn't have to be green as you could turn it into a fairy fantasy land with whatever color you like.
If you've gone with green and you want to create more texture so that it seems like grass (not absolutely necessary, but it's easy enough to do) simply get some shredded coconut in a bowl and add some green food coloring, mix it around until it's all the same color as the fondant and then sprinkle it over the top - pressing down so that it sticks.
Now how you want to decorate is entirely up to you - you could make a toadstool like in the image or another idea is to sculpt out a tree trunk. All you need is a little imagination. I read somewhere that fondant is like play-doh for adults and it's true!
Enesco Boyds Resin Butterfly Kisses Fairy FigurineCheck Price
If you've decided to create a toadstool then after you've made it you'll want to add a path and the easiest way to do this is to simply use sprinkles. I also love to add a few candy flower cake decorations as well.
But what about the fairy? This is where you can use figurines or cake toppers - sometimes it's hard to find a cake topper that isn't of Tinkerbell and as much as we all love Tinker there are lots of other cute fairies in the world like the figurine I've found opposite or below.
This is a gorgeous fairy play set that would look perfect on a fairy cake and the bonus is that your daughter (or whoever you're baking the cake for) will be left with a play set after the cake is long gone!
More Fairy Cake Toppers
There are lots more fairy cake toppers, but I'm going to leave you with just two more.....

Bake Your Own Fairy Birthday Cake
If you're going to be baking your own fairy birthday cake then you have lots of different ideas to choose from and a range of different toppers that you can use. Look at the funky loveheart fairy cake that was made by mags20-eb
Heart Shaped Fairy Cake
To create a cake like this one simply bake it in a heart pan, ice and add a fairy topper, figurine (mold your own fairy topper even) and then add some pieces of wire with hearts cut out of fondant in different colors.
Your daughter will love this 'celebration of fairies' style of birthday cake. You can even add a couple of sparklers alongside the wire with hearts on to add a little extra wow factor.
Fairy on a Log Birthday Cake
Nordic Ware Yule Log PanCheck Price
Usually log style cakes are baked at Christmas time - Yule Logs - but if you think about it they are also perfect for a fairy cake. Simply bake the cake and if you're used to making Christmas Yule Logs then you could decorate them exactly the same. Next add a fairy topper or figurine to the cake - one sitting would be the best option.
If you just look at this cake and sigh then here's another idea - a tiered birthday cake. It doesn't have to be harder than baking a regular cake and it automatically looks more interesting because it has different layers.
Once baked add fairy toppers and whatever other decorations you like - candy flowers, candy hearts, cabouchons, sprinkles, edible ladybugs even fruit.
Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake
A topsy turvy cake is something that any little girl will love as it has shades of fantasy and Alice in Wonderland attached to it. Simply use colored frosting and a fairy cake topper and she'll be more than happy.........maybe even add a sparkler for some added pizazz.
An Ice Cream Filled Fairy Birthday Cake
Using these bake and fill cake pans means that you can add whatever you want to the inside and what do most children want for their birthdays? Ice cream! Instead of a straight ice cream cake you can serve up this and when you cut into it they'll find the ice cream surprise!3 TIER BAKE & FILL CAKE PAN WITH FILLER INSERT (BAKE A DESIGNER CAKE WITH YOUR FAVORITE FILLING!)Check Price
Once baked and filled you'll want to ice your cake and if using ice cream you really don't want to spend a lot of time decorating so I think adding strawberries and blueberries around the tiers with some edible sugar lady bug cake decorations to dot around the cake and a fairy topper to pop on the top, or even on one of the layers would make a perfect ice cream filled birthday cake for a little girl.

Disney Tinkerbell Cake Topper for Petite CakeCheck Price
Simply make a small cake to pop on top of your tiered cake stand - decorate it as per the instructions and add Tinkerbell on top - she's actually a cake pick. Next decorate your cupcakes with different colored frosting, sprinkles, flowers, ladybugs and more.
When my daughter asked for birthday cupcakes instead of a big birthday cake I actually really enjoyed making them because she wanted them all different so I simply made three batches of frosting - white, pink and blue - then I divided up the cupcakes and frosted an equal amount in each color. Next I got out all of my different colored sprinkles as well as some mini M&Ms and I made each cupcake different. Not only did my daughter absolutely love them all of her classmates also thought they were neat and the best thing of all by decorating only little cupcakes I didn't stress about messing something up!
Tinkerbell & Disney Fairies Cupcakes
This cupcake tower is decorated with the Disney fairies which means it will be an instant hit and all you have to do is make a batch of cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles and your daughter along with her friends will love it.Wilton Disney Fairies Cakescapes Cupcake Stand KitCheck Price
Of course, just because they're cupcakes it doesn't mean that you can't decorate them like the mini-cakes that they are. You can use cupcake wrappers as well as cupcake picks to decorate these fairy cupcakes in style.
Cupcake Rings - Another Type of Cupcake Topper
Cupcake rings are a great way of decorating cupcakes and these Disney fairies ones are no exception.
Fairy Cupcake Kit
If your daughter loves fairies other than Disney you can still make her fairy cupcakes and one of the options is to use this cupcake kit which contains cupcake wrappers as well as cupcake picks.
