Can I apply my toppers to any type of icing??
Rice Paper and Fondant Cake Toppers are very easy to apply. I am often asked on whether they can be applied to any cake with any type of icing? Here is a short guide to help you:
Fondant or Marzipan: Apply a small amount of edible glue or water to apply your image.
Buttercream: Before your buttercream hardens apply a small amount of edible glue to apply your topper.
Whipped Cream/Cream Cheese: As there is a lot of moisture in this icing it is best to use a backing disc (made from fondant or flower paste) then apply your topper. This will prevent the topper cracking. If not using a backing disc it is advisable to apply as late as possible before serving.
Glazed Icing: Apply your topper before the icing sets. Make sure your cake is level or the topper may slide off the cake.
If in any doubt use a fondant disc to use as a backing disc to your topper. This gives a lovely clean finish and a professional look. Fondant is readily available from all supermarkets and cake suppliers.

How do I apply an edible fondant icing print ?
How to apply
Printed cake toppers will work on most cakes but the best results are achieved when used on smooth, fondant icing.
Before applying your edible print you’ll need to ensure your icing is slightly moist. The best way to achieve this without over dampening your cake is to spray a fine mist of water onto the surface of your cake before applying your cake topper.
