How to Make Printed Cupcake Toppers?

Making a cupcake is not that complicated, but making its decorations could be. If you are not experienced enough, you might ruin things, which is why it’s better to order cupcakes from bakeries. However, if you feel like making printed cupcake toppers on your own for someone special, then make sure to read this blog until the end. 

Cupcake toppers are definitely the most beloved dessert since they are pretty looking and edible. Often, these toppers are made with fondant, chocolate, and even royal icing. In this blog, we’ll tell how you can make printed cupcake toppers with ease, if not, from where you should purchase them.

Using fondant for cupcake toppers is pretty simple. All you need is a cookie-cutter, yes! That’s it. Firstly, roll out the fondant to 1/8 inch thickness. Once done, make cutouts as many as you like and lay them on to the parchment paper. Add details while the fondant is still gummy and let those cutouts dry overnight. 

However, if you don’t have a cookie-cutter, consider cutting out circles or any other shape of your preference; go crazy with it. Once you are satisfied, paint them with edible color and let them dry. Before placing those cutouts, make sure to frost the cupcakes so that they can stick to fondant. 

Besides all that, you can use gum paste mold to make cupcake decorations. Molds are easy to find; in fact, thousand of them are available online. So, start adding them to your cart.

Royal icing can also be used in place of fondant. In fact, it is easier to use when compared to fondant. Chocolate can also be used as an alternative, but it’s a bit tricky to use. It would take a lot of time to get used to it, but that’d be worth it. 

In the End 

Decorating a cupcake is not a child’s play; you have to be patient, experienced, and creative. But, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give it a go. You have to somewhere, so try making it yourself and get that amateur tag off of you.
