Edible Toppers for Cakes
Melting Chocolate, Sprinkles and a template is all you need to make custom edible toppers for cakes and cupcakes. Inspirational idea from TikTok.
Equipment
- Numbers Template
- Popsicle Sticks
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Melting Chocolate
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Place the template onto a cutting board and top with wax paper.
- Place candy melts into a resealable sandwich bag but do not seal. Heat for 60 seconds at 50% power.
- Knead the bag and flip over. Repeat and knead the bag until the melting chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Seal the bag and snip the tip in the corner.
- Pipe the chocolate onto the wax paper, tracing the template design underneath.
- Keep the chocolate thick. Top with sprinkles while still wet. Let stand to harden.
- Carefully peel the number from the wax paper and flip the number or letter over to the back.
- Reheat the bag of chocolate (30 seconds at 50% power) if no longer melted.
- Pipe chocolate onto the back and gently press the popsicle stick into the chocolate.
- Cover the back of the number with additional chocolate and add sprinkles.
- Let the topper stand to harden.
- Gently press toppers into the top of the cake.
Notes
- I think it's best if you put the stick on off-center. For example, put it on the side vs. the center of the number, so more of the stick is attached to the number.
- It might be easier to put wax paper on a cutting board and put the cutting board onto a rimmed baking sheet so that the sprinkles stay on the baking sheet and not all over the counter.
- Make sure you keep your chocolate thick and press the sprinkles into the sides as well.
