If you have baked some scrumptious frosted cupcakes and wish to make them all the more enjoyable, then go for some attractive paper liner. These cupcake paper liners can be adorned with other edible accessories like candy pearls, ribbons, bows, or even edible jewellery or fabric flowers.
Colourful Fondant Shapes:
Go for some delightful precolored fondant when it comes to making cupcake toppers. Buy cookie cutters from the market and use them or a knife for creating wonderful shapes after rolling them into thin sheets on parchment paper. Once this is done, you should then seal the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap, to avoid drying of the fondant due to air exposure.
Do you have a cake pedestal?
Well, it goes without saying that a cute and pretty cake stand or pedestal can add more charm to your beautifully decorated cake. As a matter of fact, a stand also helps you to decorate or embellish your cake with utmost ease and comfort.
