A topper set is the shortcut that has quietly replaced both. Buy a plain iced cake from the supermarket on the way home, push nine toppers into it in the kitchen, and it photographs as a themed cake. The child cannot tell the difference and, more to the point, does not care - what they wanted was a Barbie cake, and that is exactly what is now on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaper cake topper set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9 pieces per set\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheme\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarbie\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulticoloured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSafety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-toxic material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGirls birthdays, themed cakes, cupcakes, dessert tables\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e9 x Cake Toppers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulticoloured paper toppers, Barbie themed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Nine Toppers Beats One Big Decoration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou can dress the whole cake\u003c\/strong\u003e - nine pieces lets you build a scene across the top and around the edge instead of planting a single image dead centre and hoping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt works on any cake you already have\u003c\/strong\u003e - supermarket mud cake, a plain sponge, a slab cake from the bakery, or a tray of cupcakes.

Push them into the cake at slightly different heights and angles rather than in a straight line, because staggered depth reads as a scene while a row reads as a fence. Put the tallest piece toward the back so nothing hides behind anything else, and leave the front section of the cake clear for candles and for cutting. Insert them shortly before the cake goes out, not hours ahead - paper draws moisture out of icing and starts to soften.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDo Cake Toppers Go on Before or After Refrigerating?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter. Always. A fridge is a damp environment and paper toppers will go limp and start to bleed colour if you chill the cake with them in place. Decorate the cake, refrigerate it plain, and push the toppers in when you take it out - it takes two minutes and it is the difference between crisp toppers and sad ones. The same applies to a hot day outside: keep the cake indoors with the toppers in, or put them in at the last moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCan You Reuse Cake Toppers?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, and it is worth trying. If you wipe the icing off the bottom of the stick straight after the cake is cut and let the piece dry flat, paper toppers often survive well enough for a second use - a sibling's cake, a cupcake batch, or taped onto a card or a party bag. They will not last forever, but for a set of nine you will usually get a few pieces back. Store them flat between two sheets of paper rather than tossed in a drawer where they will crease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Buys These\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParents who have left the cake until the last minute, which is most of us. People who can bake but cannot decorate, and know the difference. Anyone who has priced a custom character cake and decided the money is better spent elsewhere. Grandparents doing a small cake-and-presents afternoon rather than a full party. And people running a themed dessert table who want the cupcakes, the cake and the table to look like one idea rather than three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePair It With\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cake is the centrepiece, so the rest of the table should match it.

That is enough to dress a single cake properly, or to spread across nine cupcakes if you would rather do a dessert table than one cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are they made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaper, from non-toxic material. They sit on top of the cake as a decoration - they are not edible and should be removed before the cake is cut and served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they come with sticks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck the pack when it arrives. If any pieces are loose, a toothpick taped to the back takes ten seconds and works exactly as well as a factory-fitted stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they go in the fridge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Refrigerate the cake first and add the toppers when you take it out. Paper goes limp in a fridge and the colours can run into the icing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size are the toppers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe supplier does not state individual sizes for this set, so we have not listed them. If you need exact dimensions for a particular cake size, message us before ordering and we will check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they edible?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They are paper decorations. Take them off before serving and keep them away from small children once removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow far ahead can I put them in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwenty minutes to an hour before the cake goes out is ideal. Any longer and moisture from the icing starts to soften the paper at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFast Australian Shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship from Australian stock to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses in every state, and orders are usually prepared within one business day.
