Personalised Cupcake & Biscuit Toppers: The Edible Print Revolution in the UK

Personalised Cupcake &  Biscuit Toppers

In recent years, personalised edible prints have taken the UK baking scene by storm. From elegant wedding cupcakes to corporate-branded biscuits, edible toppers are no longer just a finishing touch — they’re a conversation starter, a marketing tool, and a keepsake all in one.

At Edible Prints, we’ve seen first-hand how biscuit toppers, personalised cupcake toppers, and edible icing sheets can transform a simple bake into a memorable centerpiece. Whether it’s a heart-warming birthday treat, a corporate launch, or something wonderfully niche like our beloved Moomin biscuits, our mission is simple: to turn your ideas into edible art.

What Are Biscuit and Cupcake Toppers?

Biscuit toppers and cupcake toppers are thin edible decorations, printed with images, logos, photos, or designs, placed on top of biscuits, cookies, or cupcakes.

What Are They Made Of?

Our toppers are printed on high-quality edible icing sheets or wafer paper, using food-safe edible inks. The choice depends on the finish you want:

  • Icing sheets – Perfect for intricate images, Smooth and vibrant colour reproduction
  • Wafer Paper or card – Sturdy to stand unaided, great for images with less printing density of dark colours.

What Can Be Printed on the Edible Toppers?

Bring a Celebration Theme Together

From children’s parties to corporate events, toppers are an easy way to tie your theme into your sweet treats. Matching colours, recurring patterns, or even event hashtags can all be part of the design.

Personalised Icing Images

We’ve printed everything from wedding monograms and baby scan photos to brand logos and vintage Polaroid-style snaps. Your imagination really is the limit.


Case Study: The Moomin Order

One of our most memorable biscuit topper orders came from a customer who wanted Moomin-themed biscuits — complete with charming quotes from the books. The attention to detail in the designs, combined with our high-quality icing sheets, made these biscuits not only visually delightful but also a sentimental keepsake for the recipients.

The customer was over the moon with the results, and it reminded us why we love what we do — creating edible memories that bring joy and nostalgia.

Trend Spotlight: The Polaroid Biscuit

A current favourite among our customers is the Polaroid-style edible photo biscuit — a square image with a white border, just like an old instant photograph, you can even add text for an extra personalised touch. It’s perfect for weddings, hen parties, and milestone birthdays, offering a vintage feel with a modern edible twist.

Size & Shape Options

We can print biscuit and cupcake toppers in virtually any shape or size — round, square, heart-shaped, or completely custom. This flexibility means they can fit perfectly onto your chosen biscuits or cupcakes without the need for trimming.


How to Use Them

Peel and Use

Our icing sheet toppers arrive ready to use. Simply peel them off the backing sheet and place directly onto your biscuits or cupcakes. Our wafer toppers arrive ready to use, no backing to remove.

Should The Edible Prints Be Backed with Fondant?

For a smooth finish, we recommend backing the icing sheet with a thin layer of fondant before placing it on top of the biscuit. This helps prevent bumps from showing through.

Troubleshooting

If your topper feels a little stiff, pop it in a warm, slightly humid room for a few minutes to soften. Feels a little soft? Follow the instructions sent with the print and pop in the oven for a few minutes. Avoid direct contact with water as it can blur the print.  Need more information on how to use your Edible Prints?
