![]() ![]() Keep it out of direct sunlight or the colours may fade. ![]() Keep it flat and don't put anything on top of it to risk spoiling it.Keep your topper in its bag until you are ready to use it.If you accidentally tear the topper icing - DON'T PANIC! Just rub very gently with a dry finger and it will merge back together and the tear will disappear after an hour or so. If any bubbles or wrinkles appear in the photo gently pat them out with DRY fingers. Hold the topper gently and place the middle onto the cake first, then smooth it out to the edges with the palm of your hand. Pat the top with kitchen towel to absorb any excess moisture.ĭO NOT WET THE TOPPER- this may cause the colours in the image to run. Dampen the cake icing using a pastry-brush or a fine mist/spray, but don't over-wet it. If you have a shop-bought cake or the icing on your cake has dried or formed a crust, a little moisture will help the photo attach to the icing and blend in. See the Tips at the bottom of this page on how to resolve this. The icing should peel off easily - DO NOT FORCE IT! If it is sticking to the backing sheet, this is probably due to the temperature and humidity in the room. This will make it easier to peel from the backing sheet. Take it out of the bag about 20 minutes before applying it to the cake to allow time for it to dry out slightly. Keep your topper in its plastic bag until you are ready to use it. Otherwise you should apply it just before serving the cake, before the photo has time to absorb the moisture. Place the topper on the plaque first, then put this on your cake top. This should be about the same size and shape as the topper. If you have a very wet icing like whipped cream, ganache, or a covering with a high fat content (like butter or cream cheese) then we suggest you make a backing plaque from roll-out icing. The icing on your cake or cupcakes can be any colour, but as the topper is made from very thin icing, dark colours like milk chocolate may not always be suitable. You can also use Royal icing, butter-cream or glace icing. ![]() Roll-out icing works best and is also known as sugar paste or fondant.

We also have a range of cakes and cupcakes to decorate yourself that include the cake and the printed icing. But also remember that any covering you add, such as sugar-paste, can then add a few millimetres to the finished size. Bear in mind that a cake can shrink while baking so it may come out smaller than the tin size. ![]() It can be trimmed to fit, so if you don't see the exact size then order one slightly larger than your cake and just let us know how big to print your picture. We suggest you order the icing about half an inch, or a few millimetres smaller than your cake. For example you would buy the 7.5 inch square icing for an 8 inch square cake. You will need to know what size and shape your cake is going to be. We print the picture you send us on to your chosen size of icing and you transfer to your cake top to create a personalised photo cake or cupcakes.On this page we explain how to decorate your cake with your topper.Īll of our toppers can be ordered for delivery the next working day, or you can choose how quickly (or slowly!) you need it to arrive.
