I’m topping our party cakes with rainbow ghost cake toppers to make spooky season a little more fun.
A colorful bunch of ghosts is exactly how I plan to top my cakes all fall long.

Make a stash of colorful ghosts for topping cakes, lining a mantel, or using them as decoration around the house in their rainbow ghoulish spirit.
They’re super easy to make and are a great detail you can leave up, because unlike pumpkins, ghosts never rot.
Ghost Cake Topper Supplies
To make the colorful ghost cake toppers, I used:
- Tissue paper in bright colors
- A bit of filler
- Small wooden skewers
- String

Instructions
1. Lay the paper out and fill the center with the filler.
2. Add the skewer sticking up in the middle.
2. Close up the tissue paper, tying it shut. Add some ghostly eyes if you want!

A quick project that packs a colorful Halloween punch to get the house and party ready for ghoulish fun.
Place these ghosts in cakes, in foam for a mantel line up, or spotted throughout the house wherever a bright & colorful spook is needed.
