Whilst we make every effort to get your toppers to you really quickly, delays in delivery are occasionally experienced.  Most orders are arrive in 1-2 days with first class post, and the next working day for Special Delivery.

We recommend ordering well in advance whenever possible, to ensure you receive your toppers when you need them.  For those last minute situations we strongly recommend selecting special delivery at checkout which is guaranteed for next day delivery if your order is placed before 10am Monday - Friday. This is a fully tracked service.

From the time you receive your dispatch confirmation email we would expect you to receive your order within 1-3 working days for deliveries within the UK for First Class mail services, however please note that occasionally delays in the postal system do occur which are outwith our control. If a Special Delivery service is selected you should receive your order the next day before the relevant time stated (9am or 1pm).

Product

Our standard sizes of toppers are:

1 x A3 sheet

1 x A4 sheet

1 x 190mm disc per sheet

15 x 50mm per sheet

30 x 38mm per sheet

54 x 23mm per sheet

Can I order any other sizes?

We can print custom sized toppers onto A4 sheets which you can cut out with sharp scissors or a craft knife.

You will need to specify a size for your image/s - we will advise if your request is not possible. If we don’t have dimensions we may email to request them which could delay your order.

What are icing sheets?

Icing Sheets are a thin layer of icing which is pressed onto a plastic backing sheet and peels off easily. The sheets are A4 in size and are soft and flexible.

What are icing cupcake toppers?

Icing toppers are very thin flexible pre-shaped icing discs which are pressed onto a plastic backing sheet.  If you want your icing cake toppers to be thicker and hard, you can back them with white chocolate discs. You can buy the chocolate silicon stencil featured in the video here.

Our icing cupcake toppers are easily peeled from the backing sheet ready to use straight away..

Standard or premium rice paper?

Standard rice paper is 0.44mm which is very thin and your toppers will be slightly translucent.

Premium rice paper is 0.7mm which gives it the feel of very thin card which is white in colour.

What is the shelf life of toppers?

All of our toppers have a shelf life of at least six months if stored in their packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.

We supply our edible toppers in three different finishes;  standard rice paper, premium rice paper and icing.

Standard rice paper is 0.44mm which is very thin and your toppers will be slightly translucent (they work best with bright or deep colours).  These are a great economic option, and are best applied to your fresh food or drink item directly before service (with the exception of pies or bread when the topper is baked onto the product).

Premium rice paper is 0.7mm which gives it the feel of very thin card which is white in colour, and they usually show up all colours well.  They will last on top of cakes etc for much longer without wilting or curling.

A4 and A3 Icing Sheets are a thin layer of icing which is pressed onto a plastic backing sheet and peels off easily. The sheets are A4 in size and are soft and flexible.  They are easily cut with a clean pair of sharp scissors if required.

Icing cupcake toppers are very thin flexible pre-shaped icing discs which are pressed onto a plastic backing sheet and are easily peeled from the backing sheet ready to use straight away.

If you want your icing cake toppers to be thicker and hard, you can back them with white chocolate discs. You can watch a video tutorial and buy a chocolate silicon stencil to easily do this here.

Our rice paper cutting service costs 50p per sheet and is available for 23mm, 38mm and 50mm edible toppers. 

We do our very best to make perfect toppers but our equipment only assures accuracy within 2mm. If you are worried your toppers will be affected by this, please get in touch.  All designs are created with a 1mm bleed area, so when creating your own design please ensure that all parts of the image that you require to be printed is positioned within the red dotted line.

If you choose not to select the cutting option, your toppers will be sent out with a thin black ring around them to make cutting them yourself a little easier.

Our flexible icing cupcake toppers are easily peeled straight from a plastic backing sheet ready to put straight onto your cupcakes.  Once put onto your cupcake they will settle over your topping like a second skin.  If you prefer your toppers to remain firm so they stay flat (or even stand them up in your cupcake) you can back them with white chocolate or fondant.  

You can make the discs thicker by sticking them to a disc of flowerpaste with edible glue which you will need to leave to dry overnight.  Alternatively you can use our chocolate silicon stencil and follow the instructions in the video below.

Personalised Toppers

Personalised toppers can be ordered either by using our 'design your own topper' tool, or by using our in-house design service.

Images can be uploaded during the order process and text can also be added.

A sheet of toppers can either have the same design on every topper, or a different design on each (maximum of 10 different designs using in-house design service).

We can print pretty much anything. By ordering from us you are confirming that you have the rights/permission to print the images.

Please do not ask us to print images which are of a pornographic, criminal, offensive, threatening, racial or defamatory nature.

The "design your own cake topper" tool is a direct 'to print' service and we do not offer alterations or edits with this option.  

If you would like any alterations made, please order using our in-house design service and add any comments in the special instructions box e.g. font, colour, style, and a picture or sketch of what you would like us to create is often helpful.

We offer most alterations of an image on a free of charge basis, however some things remain impossible to alter perfectly.

It is advised that if you need moderations made to an image, you do this prior to sending it to us.

Most alterations and additions made by ourselves can be done quickly and easily.  If we think this is going to take more than 30 minutes, we may need to charge extra - if this is the case, we will get in touch prior to starting the work.

When using our 'design your own topper tool you can upload either jpg or png files.

The majority of image files can be uploaded when using our in-house design service.

We recommend a resolution of around 300 Dpi. However, the higher the resolution of the image, the better.  We also recommend the size of your image to be around 1000 pixels square.  You may experience problems uploading files larger than this.  Files under 500 pixels square are lower resolution and may not produce a nice sharp finish.  Please bear in mind that the higher the resolution of the image supplied, the better the print quality will be.

Getting a really good colour match when printing your cake toppers is a little more complicated than it may first seem.  In the majority of cases we are able to get a really good match, however occasionally it can be affected by one of two issues.

The first is that we print with edible ink, not standard ink, and this can very occasionally make a difference in the colour obtained. 

The usual reason however is to do with the format of the image supplied.  Images created for screen e.g. websites, email, digital ads use the RGB colour system (displayed using red, green, blue and light) whereas images created for print e.g. magazines, advertising leaflets and cake toppers, use the CMYK colour system (cyan, magenta, yellow and black).

Also, as light is not used in the printing process once an image is printed on the cake topper, it unlikely that it will be as bright as when viewed on a digital display (phone screen, laptop or monitor). 

The majority of images that are supplied by our customers are created using the RGB colour system, however if you require an exact colour match we strongly recommend uploading a CMYK image.  Whilst it may look slightly different on your monitor, it should print in the correct colour.

Please also note that pale colours do not show up very well on our standard rice paper as it is slightly translucent. These work better on our premium rice paper or icing toppers.

Should you have any concerns, please get in touch and we will try to help.

You can read more about RGB, CMYK and pantone colours in this great blog by Natsumi Nishizumi.

We will NOT check for spelling, punctuation or case correction for any message text provided so please make sure you have written exactly what you want to appear on your topper/s.

We want to make sure you get the toppers you are hoping for and so we ask that all personalised designs are approved prior to printing.

If you have ordered using our in-house design service we will send a proof by email which you must approve before we print and post.  Please check your inbox (or spam folder) and let us know if you have not received a proof within 24 hours of ordering (Monday to Friday).

If you use our 'design your own topper' tool you will preview your design on your device screen prior to adding to your basket.  Please check this preview carefully. as adding to your basket is taken as your approval of the design created, and you order will be printed and posted once received.

Pre-designed Toppers

Pre-designed toppers can be ordered directly through our website We have a drop-down menu with the main categories, and lots of filters to search in more detail.

There is also a search bar at the top of our website where you can add what you are looking for.

If you cannot find what you are looking for you can either get in touch, or create your own personalised toppers here.

Yes. If you would like any personalisation or editing to our pre-designed toppers let us know in the 'order instructions' box on the basket page.

This would be a subject to a small additional charge, depending upon the amount of editing involved - we would advise in advance by email.

Whilst we try to reproduce the images on our website acurately it is not always possible to get an exact match.

Images viewed on a computer or phone screen are displayed using light however as light is not used in the printing process it unlikely that it will be as bright as when viewed on a digital display. 

As we print with edible ink, not standard ink, this can also occasionally make a difference in the colour obtained. 

Please also note that pale colours do not show up very well on our standard rice paper as it is slightly translucent. These work better on our premium rice paper or icing toppers.

Should you have any concerns, please get in touch and we will try to help.
