Materials & Ingredients
Materials & Ingredients
Our website toppers use icing sheets. Our Amazon range includes icing sheets and premium thick wafer paper (wafer card, approximately 0.6–0.65 mm). Check your listing and packaging to identify your material. Both are printed with edible inks.
Premium wafer paper ingredients: Potato Starch, Water, Sunflower Oil, Emulsifier: lecithin, Maltodextrin.
See our Ingredients & Allergens page for the separate edible ink ingredients.
Our icing sheets and edible inks are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
For premium wafer paper, please contact us to confirm suitability before ordering. The supplier’s ingredient list does not identify the source of lecithin.
Please check the ingredients for your specific material and the edible inks on our Ingredients & Allergens page.
Premium wafer paper contains lecithin. The supplier’s page does not identify its source or provide an allergen statement, so we cannot confirm that it is soya-free.
Our products are produced in an environment that handles allergens. If you have an allergy or specific dietary concern, please contact us before ordering or consuming the topper.
Colours can vary slightly between screens and printed edible icing. Screen brightness, colour settings and the nature of edible inks can all affect how colours appear.
We always aim to reproduce your chosen design as closely as possible.
Applying & Storing
Applying & Storing
Icing sheets: cut to the required shape, carefully remove the backing and place onto a smooth, slightly tacky cake surface such as fondant, buttercream or icing. Our How to Apply guide covers icing sheets.
Premium wafer paper: use clean cutting tools reserved for edible use. The icing-sheet backing-removal instructions do not apply. Follow the instructions supplied with your order, or contact us for advice about your cake surface before applying.
Some designs are supplied ready to use, while others may need to be cut out before application.
The product description will tell you what is supplied.
Use clean, dry scissors for the best result.
Keep your topper:
- flat
- in its original airtight packaging
- at room temperature
- away from direct sunlight
- away from heat and moisture
Do not refrigerate or freeze it, as condensation can affect the icing and printed image.
Icing sheets: for best results, use within 2 months of purchase. Keep sealed, flat and dry to preserve the print and flexibility.
Premium wafer paper: follow the best-before date on your packaging. Store flat in an airtight food-safe bag or container, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Edible icing toppers work well on fondant, buttercream and many other smooth cake surfaces.
Avoid placing the topper onto a very wet surface, as excess moisture can cause the icing or printed image to deteriorate.
