FAQ

Yes, they are! Our cake toppers are printed onto your choice of icing paper or wafer paper with edible inks, so they’re perfectly safe to eat

Wafer toppers Our wafer toppers are made from, lightly sweetened rice paper. Wafer toppers are NOT pre-cut. You can simply use the printed guide to cut them from the rice paper sheet using a pair of sharp, dry scissors and they’re ready to go. Wafer toppers work best with buttercream. Wafer paper doesn’t like humidity. If it’s too humid in your kitchen, or if your hands are wet, they tend to lose their stiffness and the edges can curl. This just means it’s best to apply wafer toppers to cakes just before serving so they look their best.

Icing toppers Our icing toppers are essentially a layer of thin icing – perfect for lying flat on an iced cake. 8" Round Celebration Cake and Cupcake Icing toppers are pre-cut. Just peel them from their backing sheet and they’re ready to go. Prints appear a little sharper and more vibrant on icing toppers, but they can run or smudge if the topper gets wet. It’s important to use a very small amount of sticking agent and always work with clean, dry hands. Icing toppers are a slightly creamier shade of white. Icing will tear if it’s too sticky or wet, so it’s best to work in a cool environment with dry hands.

Our 8" round Icing Toppers and 2" Icing Cupcake toppers are pre-cut so you do not need to cut these out. All other sizes of icing and all Rice Paper toppers will not be pre-cut.

These can simply be cut from their sheet using a pair of sharp, dry scissors.
