Labubu Cakes at Milkbar: How a Designer Toy Became a Buttercream Superstar
Trends don’t often leap from collectibles to cakes, but Labubu does—its bold, big-eared face is instantly recognizable. At Milkbar, guests spot it across the room before seeing the piping, which is why it’s become a top theme. This blog explains what Labubu is, why it shines in buttercream, how we craft clean, photogenic designs—and highlights our core flavours to match the look with great taste.
What is Labubu (and why is everyone obsessed)?
Labubu is a playful, big-eared character from designer-toy culture that blew up on social media. Its bold eyes, cheeky grin and simple shapes make it instantly recognizable—kids love it, collectors share it, and party photos go viral. That clean, iconic look is exactly why Labubu cakes are trending for birthdays.
On a cake, those elements are a dream. Minimal lines read clearly in frosting. Big features stay legible on camera. And the character’s personality carries a party even before the candles are lit.
At Milkbar , a Labubu birthday cake or Labubu theme cake means neat frosting, crisp details and pastel palettes that match your décor—cute, modern, and made to taste as good as it looks.
Why Labubu is perfect for buttercream ?
Buttercream loves bold, simple shapes—and Labubu delivers. The result is a cake that looks premium on the table and crystal-clear in photos.
The Flavours Milkbar Delivers
You asked for flavour details, and we love talking about them. A Labubu cake is a visual treat, but the inside still needs to make guests ask, “Which flavour is this, and can I have more?” Here are the four Milkbar signatures we deliver—each one soft, smooth, and celebration-ready.
All flavours pair beautifully with Labubu’s pastel or bold palettes—camera-ready outside, delicious inside.

Final crumb
Labubu’s leap from designer toy to buttercream icon feels inevitable: the bold silhouette, big ears, and cheeky grin are built for modern visuals. Milkbar translates that instant appeal into a clean, photogenic Labubu cake—neat lines, polished textures, and colour palettes (pastels or brights) that pop on camera without clutter. The character reads clearly from across the room and looks just as crisp in close-ups, making it a natural fit for modern party photos and reels.
