How To Use IncrEdible Topper's Icing Toppers

Step-by-step Guide - Follow this simple step-by-step guide to create beautiful cupcakes finished with professional edible icing toppers.
Step 1: Bake Your Cupcakes - see 'my recipe section'  

Bake your cupcakes and allow them to cool completely before decorating.

💡 Tip: Warm cupcakes will melt your buttercream and toppers.

Step 2: Prepare Your Fondant Discs

Roll out your fondant icing to approximately 1cm thick.

Use a round or scalloped cutter to cut out your discs.

Place the discs onto greaseproof paper and leave them uncovered overnight to firm up.

Step 3: Add Your Edible Image

Using a clean paintbrush, apply a very small amount of water to the surface of each fondant disc.

Carefully place your edible icing image onto the disc and smooth gently.

💡 Tip: Only use a tiny amount of water to avoid bubbling.

Step 4: Ice Your Cupcakes

Pipe your buttercream onto each cupcake using a swirl motion.

You can use a piping bag and nozzle to achieve a smooth, professional finish.

Step 5: Apply the Icing Topper

Once your cupcakes are iced, place the fondant disc on top of the buttercream.

Gently press down so it sits securely.

Step 6: Final Presentation

Arrange your finished cupcakes in a box or display.

Your cupcakes are now ready to enjoy or gift 🎁
