Decorating
The fun part — and let's be honest, it's 80% about the decorations
DECORATING SETS
TWO TYPES OF DECORATION
Edible Paper
Printed on special grease-proof paper so they won't mark and the colours won't run when placed onto your cake. Apply like a sticker — peel the backing and press gently onto the iced cake. No mess, no fuss.
Paper Cut-Outs
Each cut-out comes with its own set of instructions. Some require glue or sticky tape to assemble — we prefer double-sided sticky tape because it doesn't show and requires no drying time.
HOW TO USE EDIBLE PAPER
Ice your cake first
Assemble and ice your cake completely before adding any edible paper designs. The icing acts as the adhesive that holds the paper in place
Cut out your images
Remove the edible paper from its storage bag and cut out the images using scissors — roughly cut around each image first to separate them, then cut each one neatly
Peel the plastic backing
Pull the plastic backing sheet away from the image. If the design feels moist and sticks to the backing, pop it in the freezer and count to 15, then remove — the backing should come away easily
Press onto the icing
Place the image in position on the iced cake and gently tap with your fingertips, smoothing outward to the edges. That's it — done!
HOW TO USE PAPER CUTOUTS
Follow the individual instructions
Each paper cut-out sheet has its own set of instructions explaining exactly what to cut, fold and assemble. Read through before you start
Assemble before the party
Cut out and assemble paper elements in advance, but keep the plastic backing on and set them aside. Place onto the cake shortly before the party so they stay looking their best
Use toothpicks or skewers to insert
For elements like ears, antennae, fins and horns — leave the plastic backing on and attach a toothpick or wooden skewer to the back using sticky tape, then insert into the cake

Keep it dry and sealed
Be careful not to get edible paper images wet — this will cause the colours to run. Store in the original bag provided and always completely reseal it after use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate.
Planning ahead?
You can apply edible paper to your iced cake up to 24 hours before the party. After that the paper may start to absorb moisture from the icing and the colours can soften. For best results, apply on the morning of the party.
