Wafer Paper
- Toppers are rigid so can stand up in a nice swirl of buttercream
- Our premium wafer paper has a sweetened flavour.
- Retro toppers are available in wafer only.
- Can be used as drink/cocktail toppers, they can even be baked into bread!
- Your toppers will arrive pre-cut and ready to use
- Please note - humidity can cause wafer paper to curl
Icing Paper
- Super high print quality, choose icing toppers for more detailed images
- Perfect for laying flat on a cake/cupcake
- Sponge size toppers available
- Not rigid enough to stand upright unaided
- You can add the icing topper to a flat disk of fondant icing before adding it to your cupcake to make the topper more sturdy
If you're looking for a quick and easy solution we recommend wafer paper... if you want to wow your friends and family, then it has to be icing!
