Great question! Sizing a custom cake topper is mostly about proportion.

• Measure your cake’s top: Note the diameter (or width for sheet cakes) and compare it to the topper’s listed width.
• Aim for balance: A topper slightly narrower than your cake usually looks clean and intentional. You’ll often see options around 5–7 inches wide, which can suit mid-size cakes.
• Consider height and font style: Taller designs or script fonts can feel larger on smaller cakes.
• Cupcakes vs. cakes: Mini picks are better for cupcakes; larger single toppers work best on full cakes.

When in doubt, check the dimensions in the product details and match them to your cake.

Look for listings marked as personalized and follow the prompts on the product page.

1. Enter your details: Add the name, age, or message in the personalization box. Double-check spelling and capitalization.
2. Upload a photo (if offered): Use a clear, high‑resolution image. Keep important faces or text away from edges to avoid cropping.
3. Pick materials and colors: Choose from options like acrylic, glitter cardstock, or wood when available.
4. Review previews: If a preview is shown, confirm layout and contrast.

Delivery estimates appear on the product page and at checkout, and you can choose shipping or pickup when available. Ordering earlier can provide more flexibility for event timelines.

Applying an edible cake topper can be straightforward with a few tips.

1. Prep the surface: Place on a smooth, slightly set buttercream or lightly moistened fondant. Excess moisture can cause colors to run.
2. Handle carefully: Keep the sheet sealed and flat until use. Gently peel off any backing before placement.
3. Apply and smooth: Lay the image from the center outward, easing out air bubbles with a dry, clean tool.
4. Let it meld: Give it time to bond to the icing; avoid heavy condensation.

Results can vary by frosting and climate. Always follow any specific directions provided on the product page for best outcomes.

Many non-edible toppers can be reused with gentle care, though it depends on the material.

• Acrylic: Wipe by hand with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly. Avoid dishwashers and harsh scrubbers.
• Wood or glitter cardstock: Spot-clean only; keep dry to help prevent warping or shedding.
• Storage: Store flat in a protective sleeve away from heat and direct sunlight to help maintain shape and finish.
• Food contact: Check the listing for food-contact details. If needed, consider using a clean, food-safe barrier on the stem before inserting.

Edible images are intended for one-time use.

Both are edible, but they behave a bit differently.

• Frosting sheets (icing sheets): Often slightly thicker and designed to blend into buttercream or fondant, creating a more seamless look.
• Wafer paper: Typically thinner and papery; useful for lightweight accents or stand-up decorations where a crisp edge is helpful.
• Color and texture: Colors can appear differently on each material. Frosting sheets may look more saturated; wafer paper can have a delicate, matte finish.
• Usage notes: Check the product description for material type and follow the application guidance provided.

Choosing between them depends on the design effect you’re going for and your cake’s icing.
