Cake Topper Usage Instructions

How to use Icing & Wafer Toppers

Please store your topper(s) in the sealed bag it arrives in. Keep in a cool/dry place away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and humidity until it is ready to be used.

Ensure your hands and work surfaces are completely dry and use clean scissors to cut the toppers if required.

Cut around your topper whilst the plastic is still attached (this gives you more control when working with icing sheets).

Carefully peel away the toppers from the plastic backing.

Apply toppers to cakes/cupcakes that are at room temperature, not straight out of the fridge.

Do not store decorated cakes/cupcakes in an airtight container or fridge. These are made from fondant icing and will react to the change in temperature and may appear wet.

Do not handle the toppers with wet hands or near a wet surface.

Toppers can be applied directly to buttercream cakes/cupcakes (at room temperature).

Toppers can be applied directly to fondant using a brush with minimal water. Too much water will create a morning dew effect and the topper will appear wet. You can also apply the topper to fondant using buttercream or edible glue.

Please note, fondant icing bundles are soft and it is not recommended to use them free standing on top of a cake without first strengthening them with melted white chocolate and a cocktail stick.

Peeling your topper from the Backing Sheet

An important thing to note is that you are trying to peel the backing sheet away from the fondant topper, not the other way around, since the fondant topper is delicate.

Ensure your room condition is suitable. A humid environment will make your topper sticky and will cling to the backing sheet.

For bundle orders, it is recommended you cut around the shape whilst the backing sheet is attached.

If the plastic sheet doesn't come away easily (usually a factor of humidity and moisture):

• Option 1: Place your topper in the freezer for around 30 seconds to remove the humidity/moisture.
• Option 2: Use the edge of a table to run the backing sheet back and forth over the tabletop corner and you should see it start to loosen. The icing should be face up.
