At The Cake Fairy Crafts, every single fondant topper is a labour of love. We take great pride in creating edible cake decorations that are handmade from start to finish, ensuring every piece is crafted to perfection. Here’s a glimpse into our fascinating process.
Crafting the Perfect Paste
The journey begins with our special blend of icing sugar, flavouring, and pure gum tragacanth. This unique recipe gives our fondant cake decorations their durable, high-quality finish. After mixing, we let the paste rest for 24 hours to achieve the perfect consistency. Once it’s ready, we combine it with sugar paste fondant to create the ideal base for our toppers.
Adding Colour and Cutting Shapes
Next, we bring the fondant to life by adding vibrant colours tailored to your desired design. For smooth, even fondant, we roll it out using a pasta roller, which allows us to achieve various thickness levels depending on the topper design. Each piece is cut using our own custom-designed fondant cutters. These cutters, designed in-house, ensure clean, professional edges that give every topper a flawless look.
Assembling and Drying
Once the shapes are cut, we carefully assemble them using edible glue. This step brings each edible cake decoration to life, whether it’s a detailed character or a simple yet elegant motif. The toppers are then placed in a dehydrator, where they dry overnight to achieve the perfect texture.
Finishing Touches
After drying, we add a touch of magic by applying edible pearl lustre dust for a beautiful sheen. To enhance the finish, the toppers are gently steamed, making them shine brilliantly. Finally, they return to the dehydrator for a quick 30-minute setting session.
Packing with Care
When the toppers are cooled and ready, we package them with the utmost care to ensure they arrive at your doorstep safe and sound. Every order includes a handy leaflet with instructions on how to attach the toppers to your cake and how to store them properly beforehand.
Every topper we create is lovingly handmade, not mass-produced by machines. From start to finish, our process is all about quality and attention to detail, resulting in stunning fondant toppers that will make your cakes truly unforgettable.
