Follow Our Handy Instructions for a perfect Burn-Away Cake, every time!
Step 1: Gently place your burn-away icing topper on your cooled cake. Make sure there is a thin border of space around your topper!
Step 2: Grab your piping bag and create a thick row of icing over the edge of your topper. This icing will be hidden, so don’t worry about using a fancy icing nozzle!
Step 4: Now, carefully place the wafer topper on top of your piped border. Gently press the edges of your topper into the icing to hold it in place.
Step 5: Time to show off your piping skills. Pipe a decorative row around the edges of the wafer topper. You can even add some sprinkles… Crazy, we know!
Step 6: Instead of lighting birthday candles, simply light your wafer topper in the center by holding a match to the surface for a few seconds.
Bonus Tip: Don't forget to capture the reveal before slicing into it. Show off your burn-away cake topper triumph on social media by tagging us at @cakeshopdotcom!
Safety note
Adult supervision is required at all times. The slow and gentle flames gradually taper off once they reach the icing border so, while the effect might be dramatic, the flames are pretty weak. The danger level, therefore, is equal to that of a candle or a sparkler that is used on the cake. But it does involve fire and that could pose a safety risk if not handled correctly, so caution is advised.
