Birthday Cake Toppers in Cake Toppers

How can I get a customized edible birthday cake topper?

You can order a customized cake topper online and have it shipped to your home. You'll need to provide information like the size of your cake, colors you want, the image in a JPEG (or similar) file, and your birthday message spelled correctly.

How do I cover a cake with fondant icing?

Prepare your fondant by kneading it into a ball and rolling it out with a rolling pin. Roll until the fondant is about 1/8 of an inch and smooth, with no bubbles. To prevent the fondant from sticking, use a silicone baking mat that has been lightly greased. Be sure the fondant is large enough to cover your cake. When you're ready to apply the fondant, gently lift one edge and slide your forearm under so that it drapes over your arm—this prevents the fondant from ripping. Use your other hand to hold the sheet of fondant like a serving tray and gently place it on the cake. Make sure there are no bubbles on the top. Trim away excess fondant with a sharp knife.

Can you print a cake topper at home?

If you have a cake image printer, you can print an edible cake topper right from home. These printers use food-grade edible ink printer cartridges and sheets of paper called frosting sheets, wafer paper, or icing sheets. The printing process may vary by printer, but typically you just place the frosting sheet in the printer, frosting side up, and hit print from your computer. Let the sheet dry for up to ten minutes before detaching the image from the frosting sheet.
