You can work with a 3D printing service or create your own designs if you have a 3D printer. These custom toppers not only add a unique touch to the cake, but they also serve as keepsakes for the other children.
You can also use 3D printed decorations such as banners, centerpieces, and various party favors. Any of these items can be custom-tailored to fit any party theme — to get the most from the experience, have your child help with designing the decor.
