Want to give a colourful boost to your birthday cake? This instructable is so simple, quick and enjoyable that you'll never buy again decorative letters for birthday cakes!

I made them for my brother's birthday (of course I made him the cake as well but recipe isn't included in this instructable :P ) and his surprise was so big that I felt proud of the impression this little thing made to him! ^_^

Step 1: Gather Materials (very Easy and Cheap)

Materials are very cheap, however I couldn't calculate the cost because I had already them. Colored cardstock shouldn't be expensive and almost all kitchens have toothpicks...! So, I used:

Colored card stocks (choose whatever color you like)
Some toothpicks
Glue
Pencil
Scissors
Ruler

Step 2: Make Letters Easy Peasy!

Draw letters on the card stock
Cut a little cube around the letter and make sure to have 2 sides
Cut the letter and make sure you have 1 pair per letter
Glue generously the two halves to make sure toothpick wouldn't move!
If you wish you can decorate your letters with colored marker pens

...and finished! You can now decorate your birthday cake!

* I made an abbreviation of the word ''birthday'' and just wrote ''bday'' instead to have enough space on the cake to wrote my brother's name as well!

Enjoy! ^_^
