1. Fondant Toppers

Fondant is perhaps one of the most used and preferred cake decorations. It is slippery to the touch, flexible and can be rolled into different forms of shapes, and models. Fondant toppers are ideal when you want a close-up design like cartoon characters, flowers, or other drawings. They are usually applied on birthday cakes, wedding cakes, and any occasion, which requires accuracy and design. When working with fondant, you may also require silicone molds and tips for the piping tips of some of the fine details. To the residents of Brisbane, there are cake decorating supplies in Brisbane stores where you will find all the fondant and tools you need to begin with.

2. Edible Printed Toppers

Edible printed toppers refer to sheets of paper that are edible and have images put on them by using food-safe ink. These toppers are most suitable for use in logos, photographs, or any complex designs that cannot be professionally done by hand. Because they are quite impressive, they are ideal for business and corporate functions, photos, and themed events. Just lay the printed topper on the cake or baby shower cookies to make it look neat. Such an option is great for those who don’t want to spend much time but at the same time, they want to impress someone. You can easily get these toppers and other baking items online.

Another exciting material is sugar paste, which is also called gum paste and is also used for edible cake toppers. Couples with fondant and dries harder, thus ideal for making small and delicate fancy designs that require rigidity. Flower paste is ideal for sugar flowers, bows, and lace works and used on wedding cakes or any fancy birthday cake. It can be colored and can also be molded into different shapes and sizes; hence the artist can be creative as they wish. When using sugar paste, you can also add edible glitter and sprinkles to the mixture to give it some sparkle.

4. Chocolate Toppers

Chocolate toppers serve both the purpose of consumption and the requirement for garnishing. These toppers are made with tempered chocolate or candy melts; they can be formed using molds or piped-in patterns. Chocolate toppers are ideal for decorating cakes, especially for chocolate lovers, because they are easy to prepare. Indeed, they can be basic geometric patterns such as hearts or stars or original patterns such as lace or three-dimensional figures.
