Princess Cake Topper 13pc - Cake Topper and 12 Cupcake Toppers Set

This is a 13 piece princess topper set - one cake topper for the main cake plus 12 cupcake toppers, so the cake and the whole dessert table match without any baking or icing skill. Push them in and you are done, in about two minutes. The reason a combined set beats a single topper is that most kids parties do not actually have one cake any more. There is a cake for the candles and a tray of cupcakes for the guests, because cupcakes are quicker to hand out and nobody has to stand there cutting. A single topper only solves half of that. This set dresses the main cake and then puts a matching topper on twelve cupcakes, so the entire dessert table reads as one deliberate thing rather than a themed cake sitting next to a tray of plain supermarket cupcakes.

Thirteen pieces decorates the cake and twelve cupcakes, which is the way most kids parties actually run. Twelve cupcakes suits a normal guest list - one each for a party of ten to twelve, with a couple spare for the adults who claim they do not want one. Cupcakes save you cutting cake - handing out twelve decorated cupcakes takes thirty seconds. Cutting and plating a cake for twelve children takes a lot longer than you think. Nothing needs baking - a supermarket cake and a tray of plain supermarket cupcakes both work perfectly. The toppers do all the theming. Two minutes of work - no piping, no fondant, no icing skill, and nothing that can go wrong the night before. How Do You Use Cupcake Toppers? Push each topper into the centre of the icing on a cupcake, straight down rather than at an angle, so it stands upright and faces the room. If the icing is very soft, chill the cupcakes for twenty minutes first and the toppers will sit firm instead of leaning over. Do them all at the same time so the heights match across the tray - a row of toppers at consistent height reads far better than a scattering at random depths. And do it close to serving, because paper softens where it meets buttercream over a couple of hours. Do You Put the Cake Topper In Before or After Refrigerating? After. A fridge is damp and paper toppers go limp and can bleed colour into the icing if they sit in there. Decorate and chill the cake plain, then add the topper as it comes out. Same for the cupcakes - chill them, then top them. On a hot day, keep everything indoors and add the toppers at the last moment rather than an hour before guests arrive. How Many Cupcakes Do You Need for a Kids Party? One per child plus about four spare is the number that works. The spares cover siblings, the adults who quietly take one, and the child who drops theirs face down within ninety seconds. Twelve toppers therefore comfortably covers a party of eight to ten children. If you have more than twelve guests, either order a second set or use the cupcake toppers on a smaller feature tray and let the rest of the cupcakes go plain - a mix of topped and untopped on the same tray still reads as intentional. Who Buys These Parents of three to eight year old girls doing a princess themed birthday, which is far and away the biggest group. People who can bake but have no interest in learning to pipe or model fondant. Anyone who has priced a custom princess cake at a bakery and worked out that the difference buys the present. Grandparents doing a small cake-and-candles afternoon. And people running a dessert table who want the cake, the cupcakes and the table to look like one idea instead of three. Pair It With The dessert table is sorted; the room is not. The Happy Birthday Banner and Confetti Balloon Set goes on the wall behind the cake and does more for the photos than anything else you can buy. The 117cm Giant Purple Unicorn Foil Balloon is the one big statement piece, and the 76pc Mermaid Theme Balloon and Banner Set fills a whole room if you need it. For more cupcakes than twelve, the 24pc Unicorn Cupcake Toppers and Wrappers extends the table. The 3-Layer Tutu Skirt and the Pop Up Princess Castle Play Tent cover dress-ups and the activity. And for going-home bags, 12pk Donut Lolly Loot Bags with Stickers or 100pk Drawstring Favour Pouches. Frequently Asked Questions How many pieces are in the set? Thirteen - one cake topper for the main cake and twelve cupcake toppers. Note the supplier's own item specifics say "Number of Items 1", which refers to the cake topper only; the pack contents confirm 13 pieces in total. What are they made of? Paper. They are decorations that sit on top of the cake and cupcakes - not edible, and they should be removed before anything is eaten. Will twelve cupcake toppers cover my party? Comfortably for eight to ten children. For more than twelve guests, order a second set or top a feature tray and leave the rest plain. Can they go in the fridge? No. Chill the cake and cupcakes plain, then add the toppers as they come out. Paper softens and colours can run in a fridge. Do the toppers come on sticks? Check the pack when it arrives. Any loose pieces can be fixed to a toothpick with a small strip of tape on the back in a few seconds. What size are they? The supplier does not publish individual measurements for this set, so we have not listed any. If exact sizes matter for your cake, message us before ordering. How far ahead can I put them in? Twenty minutes to an hour before serving. Beyond that, moisture from the icing starts softening the paper where it meets the buttercream.
