Welcome to IncrEdible Cake Toppers!
Hello there! Welcome to the deliciously creative world of IncrEdible Cake Toppers and to me, Sarah Louise Jones: manic mother of two sporty teenage boys, long-suffering wife of a weekend cricketer, proud owner of one very cute Old English Sheepdog called Lottie and, last but not least, a passionate homebaker!
It was my grandmother Ada who first encouraged me, aged four, into the magical world of homebaking. She spent hours patiently teaching me the basics of baking. Even now, whether I’m rubbing butter into flour to make scones, or rolling out pastry to create home-made apple pie, it’s her voice I can hear in my head. Fortunately, I’ve managed to shush the same voice when it tells me to do the washing-up. In fact, one of the joys of being a grown-up is that I can now delegate this task to my husband!
I don’t know what my grandmother would make of the amazing changes that have happened in the world of baking since then, where simple fairy cakes with puddles of white icing and multi-coloured sprinkles have given way to innovative and elaborate cupcake creations. I do know, however, that she would be thrilled to see me taking the plunge and setting up a new business in something that is such a long-standing love and passion of mine.
So, I can’t wait to start sharing with you some of the fantastic designs that IncrEdible Cake Toppers has conjured up to make your homebaked cupcake or cake a thing of beauty and wonder! Thank you for visiting, and remember to share what you see on my Instagram and Facebook pages and tell your friends what I’m all about.
And talking about sharing, here is an original Grandmother Ada recipe for ‘Maids of Honour’ cakes which were a favourite of hers.

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.
