How do you put a paper topper on a cake?

To put a paper topper on a cake, gently adhere it to the icing using a small amount of edible glue, sugar paste, or honey.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Preparation: Ensure your cake is iced and ready for the topper.

2. Adhesive Options: Choose your adhesive. Options include:

   • Edible Glue: Specifically designed for cake decorating.
   • Sugar Paste: A small amount of softened sugar paste can work.
   • Honey: Use sparingly as it can be quite sticky.

3. Application: Apply a very small amount of your chosen adhesive to the back of the paper topper. Focus on the areas that will make contact with the cake.

4. Placement: Carefully position the topper on the cake in your desired location.

5. Securing: Gently press down on the topper to ensure it bonds with the icing. Be careful not to tear or damage the paper.

It's important to use only a tiny amount of adhesive to prevent it from seeping out and ruining the appearance of your cake.
