Why Decorate a Labubu Cake?

7 Easy No-Bake Labubu Cake Decorating Ideas
These ideas work with Labubu Mug Cakes, Rice Krispie Treats, or even store-bought sheet cakes. No oven, no problem.
1. Classic Chocolate Labubu Face
Use melted white chocolate chips, divide into two bowls, and color one black, the other pink. Use a spoon or piping bag (or Ziploc with a cut corner) to draw Labubu’s face: big eyes, a wide smile, and long bunny ears.
🎨 Pro Tip: Draw the face on parchment first to practice before decorating the real thing.
2. Oreo Crunch Labubu
Crush Oreos and sprinkle over the top or sides of your cake to give Labubu a messy, mischievous look. This is perfect for the “wild Labubu” aesthetic that matches his monster persona.
📅 Dorm Hack: Use a spoon to crush Oreos inside a mug for less mess.
3. Birthday Sprinkle Explosion
Cover the top with rainbow sprinkles or confetti sugar, then add a candle or mini banner. This version is perfect for themed dorm parties or sending a birthday shoutout to a friend.
🎂 Pair it with our Labubu Mug Cake to create a mini celebration in under 5 minutes.
4. Mini Marshmallow Crown
Use mini marshmallows to create a halo or crown around Labubu’s head. You can also use them as cheeks or ear fluff to give your dessert more dimension.
✨ Looks amazing in Reels with a slow pan and soft music.
5. Matcha Bunny Labubu
For a green version of the Labubu cake, swap cocoa powder for matcha or green tea powder in your batter. Use pink sprinkles or white icing for contrast.
🥞 Flavor + color = next-level content.
6. Blind Box Surprise Labubu
Channel the POP MART blind box trend by hiding a small toy or candy inside the cake. When someone cuts it open—boom! Instant unboxing moment.
🚫 Do not bake real toys. Wrap in plastic and insert after cooking.
7. Vegan Pastel Labubu
Use plant-based whipped cream, coconut yogurt, and vegan candy eyes to decorate. Add fruit powders for soft, pastel color tints.
🌿 Perfect for students with allergies or dietary preferences.
