Tortenaufleger richtig einsetzen für jeden Anlass auf trockener Oberfläche

Use cake toppers correctly for every occasion on a dry surface

What must go under a cake topper?

Cake toppers are a wonderful way to personalize cakes and tarts - whether for birthdays, weddings or other special occasions. But before the topper goes on the cake, it is important to prepare the right surface to achieve the best result.

1. The perfect surface

The cake topper should be placed on a smooth, dry surface . Fondant, marzipan or ganache are particularly suitable for this. These materials provide a stable, dry base so that the topper lies flat and does not slip. A dry surface is essential to prevent the edible image from softening.

2. Buttercream or cream as a base?

Cream is problematic for cake toppers due to its high moisture content, as it can quickly damage the topper. If cream is used as a base, it is advisable to place a thin layer of fondant or marzipan between the topper and the base to protect the topper. Buttercream is better than cream, but again should not be too fresh and moist to minimize moisture that could affect the image.

3. The right time

An edible cake topper should only be placed on the cake shortly before serving , especially if cream or other moist toppings are used. This prevents the topper from losing its structure due to moisture or the colors of the image from running.

4. Storing the cake

If the cake is already decorated, it should be stored in the refrigerator. However, it is important not to expose the cake topper to the moisture in the refrigerator for too long. Make sure that the topper does not come into direct contact with the moisture to avoid damage.

Conclusion

For a perfect result, the cake topper should be placed on a dry and smooth surface such as fondant or marzipan. Wet surfaces such as cream or fresh buttercream should be handled carefully so as not to affect the edible image. With these simple tips, your cake is guaranteed to be the highlight of any celebration!
