Let’s be real, the cake is what the kids (and let’s be honest, the moms) care about the most. Now, you could go full Hollywood and order a custom three-tiered cake with fondant kittens and colorful sprinkles—but unless your last name is Kardashian, you probably don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on something that’s getting devoured in five minutes.

A DIY cake is totally doable! A simple pastel-colored cake with cat paw prints made from chocolate chips? Adorable. Cupcakes topped with mini Gabby figurines? Even easier. If you want something ultra-simple, just bake a sheet cake, frost it in light pink or lavender, and top it with cute cat-shaped cookies. Bam—instant Gabby’s Dollhouse magic.

And let’s not forget one of the easiest ways to make a store-bought or homemade cake look instantly on-theme—the cake topper! You don’t need anything fancy or expensive to pull this off. Just print out a cute Gabby’s Dollhouse image (maybe Gabby herself or some of her adorable kitty friends), cut it out, and tape it to a popsicle stick or a straw. Then, with the confidence of a seasoned party-planning pro, proudly plant it right in the center of the cake like you’re the Martha Stewart of birthday parties. Voilà—instant custom cake decor!
