Each topper is mounted on a 3.5-inch bamboo skewer using double-sided tape for a clean, professional look. No messy glue — just a secure, tidy attachment that holds the topper upright in your cupcake.

Bamboo skewers are easier to handle, more stable, and hold the topper in place better than toothpicks or lollipop sticks. They're the right height to display the topper above the frosting without being too tall or wobbly.

The printed toppers are sized to sit proportionally on a standard cupcake, approximately 2.5" to 3" depending on the shape of the design. They're large enough to see the photo clearly but not so large that they overpower the cupcake.

A close-up headshot works best since the topper is small. The face should fill most of the photo. Avoid full-body shots or group photos — at this scale, you want one clear face front and center.

Cupcake toppers are printed on a bright coated cardstock with UV that photograph well.
