One happy bee, and a first birthday table to match. These bumble bee cupcake toppers are warm, sweet and properly thought through, with four edible designs that work together rather than just sharing a colour: a dripping honey pot, a kawaii bumble bee character, a bold bee-striped ONE with honey drips, and a personalised name topper on a golden honeycomb background that is the one everyone photographs.
Printed to order in Cork, Ireland with your child's name on the personalised topper, they arrive pre-cut and ready to peel straight onto buttercream or fondant. The yellow, cream and black palette is warm and fresh, and it photographs particularly well at parties.

- Personalised with your child's name, printed directly into the design
- Available in two sizes: 15 x 2in / 5cm (pack of 15) and 1.5in / 3.8cm (pack of 30)

A note on colours: Icing sheet gives the closest colour result to what you see on screen, with stronger colour and crisper detail. Wafer paper produces a noticeably more muted, matte result. Both materials use CMYK printing on an edible surface, so colours will always appear somewhat less vivid than the RGB display on your screen.

A Note on Colours
The designs you see on screen are created and proofed on a calibrated display, but every monitor, phone, and tablet shows colour slightly differently. Reds may appear more orange on some screens, blues can shift cooler or warmer, and yellows may look more muted depending on your device's brightness and colour settings. This is completely normal and not a reflection of the final printed product.
On Icing Sheet
The product photos show how your topper looks on screen, but all edible printing uses CMYK ink on an edible surface, while your screen displays colours in RGB light. This means printed colours will always appear a little less vivid and slightly softer than what you see on your device, no matter the material. Icing sheet gives the closest result to the photos, with crisper detail and stronger colour. Wafer paper has a matte, textured finish so colours will appear noticeably more muted. Neither material is an exact match to your screen, but both produce a clear, beautiful result.
On Wafer Paper
Wafer paper has a naturally matte, slightly textured finish, which means colours will appear a little softer and more muted compared to the screen preview. This is the nature of the material rather than a print quality issue. Reds and yellows in particular may appear slightly less saturated. The design will still look beautiful and clear, just with a more understated, natural finish.
Our Recommendation
If bold, vibrant colour is your priority, icing sheet is the better choice for this design. If you prefer a softer look or are placing the topper on a delicate surface like a macaron or a thin sponge, wafer paper is a lovely option.
If you have any questions about which material suits your order best, feel free to get in touch before ordering and we will be happy to help.

Applying Your Topper
- Peel away the backing. If the topper doesn't release easily, leave it open to the air for 10 minutes, or pop it in the freezer for a couple of minutes and it should come away cleanly.
- For fondant or chocolate: brush a tiny amount of cool boiled water where you want the topper to sit, then press it gently into place.
- For buttercream: place it straight onto the surface. No water needed.
- Smooth it down from the centre outward using your fingertips.
- Need to trim it? A clean scissors or sharp knife works perfectly.
Storage
- Keep your topper sealed in the grip-seal bag it arrives in until you are ready to use it.
- Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Do not refrigerate. Icing sheets can become more fragile at cold temperatures, so room temperature is always best.
- You can open the bag to check your topper on arrival, then pop it straight back in until you need it.
Shelf Life
- Icing sheets: 6 months when stored correctly in the original sealed bag.
- Drinks toppers: 18 months.
Drinks Toppers
For the best results, float your drinks topper on a foamy cocktail or beverage. They rest gently on the surface of prosecco, cocktails, or even hot drinks, and stay intact for up to 30 minutes. You can also clip one to the rim of your glass using a mini peg.
