I need birthday cake topper ideas. I am okay with making the cake topper myself but I have a kid who is into the 80s big hair mohawks big hoop earrings, t-shirts, etc. What would make a great topper for her birthday cake and if I can buy it thats fine but tools to make it are even better.

The 1980s are known for many things, one of which was the abundance of neon colors on clothes. Translate that into cake by using icing dyed with neon food coloring, available at baking or craft stores. Incorporate sayings that were popular in the 1980s into your cake design. Use icing to pipe on phrases such as "radical," "totally awesome" and "most definitely."Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, Care Bears and Scooby Doo were popular cartoons in the 1980s. The 1980s saw a rise in video games, including Pac-Man. A Pac-Man cake can be made by cutting a wedge from a round cake, icing it yellow and adding a small round candy for an eye.

How about a Rubik's cube, Mr. Potato Head or He-Man and She-Ra? Or try fashionable decor;lacy gloves and legwarmers, or a mullett! Finger snaps, glow in the dark slinky, friendship bracelets

Sounds like a fashion icon is having a birthday! I would suggest creating makeup (compacts, lipstick, etc.) cake topper and maybe creating some keys or a cell phone. This would work well for any little lady whether she be a tween, teen, or  adult. Its always a good idea to watch videos on websites like Youtube. You will learn to make fondant people. purses, and other decorations. These are a few examples of toppers that can be placed on a beautiful cake. You could also shape the cake like your child's favorite purse, tshirt, or outfit. It will be a wonderful birthday surprise!
