About these Birthday Cupcake Toppers

Cupcakes have quietly taken over from the single cake at a lot of birthdays, mostly because nobody has to cut them and there is no argument about who got the corner piece. A tray of them with a matching topper on each one photographs better than a cake as well, which is not the reason anybody gives but is usually part of it.

The designs run from first birthdays through to the milestone ages, with the number available on most of them and a name on the personalised ones.

Pre-cut and printed to order on icing sheet or wafer paper in my studio in Mallow, County Cork. Fifteen at 5cm covers a standard batch and thirty at 3.8cm covers a class. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post, so order the week before rather than the night before. See also kids birthday cupcake toppers, milestone birthday cupcake toppers and edible cake toppers for the cake itself.

Good to know

Birthday Cupcake Toppers questions, answered

How many cupcake toppers do I get?

Two options. Fifteen at 2 inches across, or thirty at 1.5 inches. Both sit between 7 and 9 euro, so the thirty pack works out better per cupcake.

Icing sheet or wafer paper?

Both are offered on every design. Icing sheet gives a smoother, more vivid finish and sits flat on buttercream. Wafer paper is lighter and more forgiving on textured or heavily piped icing.

How do I put the topper on?

Edible toppers peel from their backing and lay straight onto buttercream or fondant. Non-edible toppers are inserted into the cake or display on a stick or stand, listed on the product page.

What name and wording can go on it?

Most designs take a name and age or a short message, entered in the personalisation box on the product page. I set it into the design exactly as you type it, so double check spelling before ordering.

How long do they take, and how long do they keep?

Made to order and dispatched within 2 to 4 working days. Edible toppers are best used within a day or two of the cake being finished, and can be stored somewhere cool and dark, though not the fridge, for up to six months. Non-edible toppers can be made well in advance and kept until the day.

What if I spot a mistake in the details?

Message me straight away. If it has not gone to print yet I will fix it at no cost. Once it is printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
