So I’m thinking of starting a new series called “Because Why Not” in honor of all of my ridiculous ideas that I usually don’t post because I think to myself “Why would people actually make this?”.
And then, I justify to myself that they wouldn’t, so I don’t share it. Then I got to thinking, “Why not?!”, and so that brings me to my first in this new series entitled Because Why Not: Slang Cakes edition!
No, they won’t actually all be cakes in this series, but it just so happens that we were laughing about cakes with our friend Monica from Paper Flour Ink (remember the master behind this post?!), and we started coming up with ideas of cakes we would’ve thought were AMAZING back in the day, and we ended up creating these crazy cake toppers from laser cut acrylic (thanks to Monica’s designs). Alas, here we are with slang cakes galore.
Not to worry, at least I left out the phrase “Suck it!!”. Remember that one from the WWF season in life? What the heck were we thinking back then?! Or maybe it was just me having a little brother..
So I should probably mention that in this series it’s not exactly a specific instructional DIY, but more so an inspiration of things you can recreate on your own, so here are all of the cakes we came up with so far–
Can we get a Clueless amen?! I mean, that was totally my jam back in the day with their oversize XXXXL sized cellphones… 
I would delve a littler deeper into these except they’re about as deep as they get, haha! What you see is what you get, my friends!
But seriously, feel free to send these to your friends, your boo, your bae, your Galentine, your whatever, because we’re here to help you express those unspoken feelings. ;)

“Because Why Not” is basically how I live my life – I would LOVE a series dedicated to it! Why not put funny phrases on cakes?!
It’s not hurting anyone, and it’s sure to make someone smile, so I think it’s a great idea! Looking forward to more posts ☺️

Thank you so much, Indya! Hahaha and yes that’s exactly how we feel! Glad you enjoy it as much we do! :)
Love the idea. Just the other day i was thinking of having a “Just “Because” party.. Brilliant idea!!
These tOppers are amazing! Im having a clueless tHemed bdAY do you sell the as if topper? Xo
We don’t sell them, we just designed them as pretty inspiration :)
How can we find out how to make these? I’ve tried Pinterest! I’m in need of the SWAG one asap!! can I buy one from you??
Hi Ragan! We actually don’t have these toppers for sale. The post is just meant to inspire and give you ideas!
So dope! How can I make these? Details please!
These are too awrsome. How did you guys make the toppers though? I need to make a gold sparkly one for my niece’s birthday.
Excellent idea!!! Just the other day i was thinking of having a “Just because” party! So brilliant, definitely a brilliant idea! Best of luck!
I love the “crunk” one the best I think. The colors and the way the topper is shaped. So cool! Love this! Looking forward to more!
Haha, so glad you liked this, Kristina!
I love these! Love the idea of the because why not series too. And I really want to come to this party.
Haha, thanks Alexis! So glad you like it!
I’m not sure I really understand the purpose of this post. You don’t share how I can make these or how/where to buy them. So basically we just look and laugh? They are cute, but i have no idea how to make laser cut designs. Are they paper? acrylic?
Hi Reese. It’s just for fun! Hence the “Why Not?” ;)
The cakes all beautiful & delicious
Thanks so much, Fyda!
I LOVE these! The cakes look amazing but the toppers – YES!
So glad you enjoyed them, Leigh!!
These cakes are all so fun… wish I had a fork to dive into some of them right now!

Thanks, Paige!
I love this so much! Not only are these cakes gorgeous and delicious (no doubt), but they’re hilarious! I think we should all embrace our “because why not” ideas more often, especially if this is the result!
We 100% agree, Elle! Thanks so much!
I love the “Because why not?!” idea. More please :)
Lots more to come! Thanks, Courtney!
I need the “foshizzle” cake topper in my life. I love this new series! Even if I won’t ever make cakes like this, I’m delighted to see them.
Haha. Thanks, Taryn! So glad you like them. We had a lot of fun thinking up the phrases to use!
