Key Products for a Labubu Cake

Custom Edible Images

The fastest way to add Labubu to any cake is with a custom printed edible image ($19.95). Upload your Labubu design, choose your size and we print it on food-grade icing paper ready to apply onto buttercream or fondant. Perfect for the Labubu face as a centrepiece on the top of the cake, or as cupcake toppers for a full Labubu dessert table.

Labubu Colour Palette — Food Colouring

Labubu's signature look draws from earthy, muted tones — think sandy beiges, dusty pinks, sage greens, terracotta and warm browns, often with pops of lavender or lilac. Colour Mill's oil-based food colouring range delivers these nuanced shades perfectly in buttercream. Key Colour Mill colours for a Labubu cake:

• Caramel — warm, sandy base tones
• Rust / Terracotta — earthy accent shades
• Lavender — the soft purple seen in many Labubu editions
• Sand / Cream — neutral base for fondant or buttercream
• Sage / Khaki — muted green tones for earthy palettes

Fondant and Modelling Paste

Sculpting a Labubu figure for the top of your cake? Use modelling paste or gum paste — it dries firm enough for standing figures with Labubu's distinctive long pointed ears. White gum paste coloured with Colour Mill earthy tones gives the cleanest, most accurate result. For covering the cake itself, fondant in a warm neutral or pastel shade creates a beautiful Labubu-inspired base.

Edible Toppers

Browse our edible toppers and cake toppers range for character and themed options to complete your Labubu cake. Pair with a custom edible image for a full Labubu spread across the top of the cake and cupcakes.

Sprinkles

Finish with sprinkles in earthy, muted tones — dusty pinks, champagnes, bronze or neutral confetti shapes — to complement the Labubu colour palette without overwhelming the design. Keep the palette tonal and restrained for the most on-trend result.

How to Make a Labubu Birthday Cake

1. Bake your preferred layer cake and crumb coat in a warm neutral buttercream — cream, sand or dusty pink Colour Mill shades work beautifully
2. Apply the final coat in a smooth, muted tone. Use a palette knife or icing scraper for a clean finish, or a textured scraper for a more tactile, artistic look
3. Add accent colours using a small palette knife — drag small amounts of contrasting earthy tones (rust, lavender, caramel) across sections of the cake for a palette knife painterly effect
4. Apply a custom Labubu edible image to the top tier, or place a hand-modelled gum paste Labubu figure on top
5. Scatter earthy-toned sprinkles and a light dusting of bronze or champagne lustre dust for the finishing touch
