What is a cake topper and how is it used? A cake topper is a decoration that stands on top of a cake, usually on one or two stakes pushed into the icing. It turns a plain shop-bought or home-baked cake into a centerpiece with no decorating skill needed. This one from Candy Prints reads Happy Fucking Birthday in a glitter finish. It is meant for adult parties, and it comes off before the cake is cut. It is a decoration, not something to eat.
Happy Fucking Birthday topper: say it in glitter
The Happy F'ing Birthday Cake Topper comes from the Candy Prints range by Little Genie. It spells out its cheeky birthday message in glitter and is made to sit on top of a cake. One topper is all it takes to change the mood of a dessert table from polite to rude. It arrives in a flat pack of about 11.5 by 7 inches and weighs next to nothing.
Best for: For adult birthdays, especially milestone ones, and for friends who would rather be teased than toasted. It suits cakes, cupcake towers and even a stack of doughnuts. Pick it for a 30th, 40th or 50th where the guest of honor can take a joke.

How to use
Finish icing the cake first. Take the topper out of its pack by the edges so the glitter is not rubbed off. Press it gently into the top of the cake until it stands straight. Keep it clear of lit candles. Lift it out before slicing and do not eat it.
Care
- Not edible; remove before serving.
- Keep the glitter side away from flames.
- Wipe the base clean with a dry tissue if you plan to keep it.
- Store flat so it does not bend.
- Handle by the edges to protect the glitter.

Frequently asked questions
Is the topper edible?
No. Despite the Candy Prints name, the facts describe a glittering cake topper used to decorate a cake. Treat it as a decoration and take it off before the cake is cut and served.
How big is it?
The topper's own size is not given. It ships in a flat pack of about 11.5 inches by 7 inches, so it will be smaller than that. It should suit a standard round or sheet cake.
Can it be reused?
Nothing in the facts says it is single use. If you wipe the base and store it flat, it should be fine for another party, as long as the glitter surface has not been damaged.
