How people cook with it
These icing decorations are perfect for adding a special touch to homemade treats. They can be applied directly to frosted surfaces.
- Decorate birthday cakes

- Personalize dessert platters
To use these icing decorations, ensure your baked goods are fully cooled and frosted. Gently lift the decoration from its packaging using a dry, clean tool like a spatula or tweezers. Carefully place the decoration onto the frosted surface, pressing lightly to adhere it. For best results, apply them just before serving to maintain their shape and texture. They can be arranged individually or in patterns to create a desired visual effect. Experiment with different placements to achieve unique designs on your creations.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fondant or buttercream piping, these pre-made icing decorations offer instant intricate designs without the need for specialized skills or tools. Their molded forms provide consistent shapes, whereas hand-piped elements can vary. They are a quick alternative for achieving a professional-looking finish.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused icing decorations in their original, airtight packaging. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause them to become sticky or lose their shape. Properly stored, they will maintain their quality for future use.
