How to make a flamingo | Valetines day cake decorating 💓

Follow along and learn how to make these flamingo cake toppers in the shape of a heart, perfect for Valentines day!

So I love creating themed cakes and cake toppers and I was trying to think of something a bit different to create for valentines day. The flamingo idea came to me one night last week when I was reading my daughter a bedtime story and there happened to be an image of a flamingo in the story. Straight away the image of two flamingos together in the shape of a heart came to mind and once I had saw everyone off to bed I started googling images of flamingo birds! I dont think I ever fully appreciated how beautiful the flamingo bird was before and I came across a few images of some together in a heart shape and so I thought they would be perfect to create for you all especially with valentines day just around the corner!

These flamingo cake toppers are surprisingly simple to create and as I said I love creating themed cake toppers so if you have any other valentines day cake decorating ideas or any other bird cakes or bird cake toppers you would like to see let me know in the comments.
