Unique Party 61785 - Mini Balloon Stick Cake Toppers, Assorted Pack of 5

3 of the cones I couldn’t open they ripped when I tried really gently to open

Don’t be scared to use these (I was I have to admit). They come as small balloons, string, ribbon and paper straws. The nack is to ensure the balloon knot is SMALL and TIGHT but away from the end Ring part (which you blow into). That way you don’t have a clump of latex to try to pull through the straw.The strings jobs is Purely To hold the knotted part so you can Feed the string down the straw then gently pull it taught teasing the balloon end down the straw as you go if needed. You may feel it’s resisting but gentle tugging and teasing will get the balloon end in. You can always use something to push it if it helps but be careful not to pierce the balloon. pull the knot into the neck of the straw. Once it’s in that’s it. Cut the string and Tie a coloured ribbon round the neck of the straw to hold it in place. Those that have them sat lopsided or that can’t get them to go through the straw will have no doubt had a larger bulkier knot making the inflated balloon sit incorrectly or not fit through the straw. The knot is only to hold the air in and the string just wraps around the neck of it to give you something to hold onto as you tease the string through.I had a play about with it before I did mine just to be sure i could do it and I’m a complete novice and did it with ease. I was complimented by many on how effective they look and have to agree that for a few quid you can totally transform your cake or one you may choose to buy. They’re a sturdy latex and won’t easily burst so persevere and you’ll get there. Hope you find this useful.

Too much faf to do these.

Hole for filling difficult to open, broke.

Excellent / fast delivery

Bought for a 10 year olds party and it went down very well. Took quite some time to break though with the piñata stick that I bought from Amazon also, so kept them entertained for quite some time. Bought three large bags of sweets & lollies to go inside but could easily have fit more in. Great product for parties but I always think piñatas are expensive!

They were a bit difficult to 'build' - after inflating the balloon it took me a while to make it go inside the straw and for it to be straight. But after I managed to do it they look very cute!

Purchased for my son's 1st birthday cake. Great item that provided the effect I was hoping for. Only downside was that the tip of the balloon remained an odd shape even when inflated quite large but of course my son didn't notice.
