There is an Ebay shop called Cake to Decorate which specialises in ‘cake toppers’. These are made from rice paper with edible ink, and mostly depict children’s cartoon characters, though you can also use a photo – or even your business logo.
Ideal for a lazy way of decorating your child’s birthday cake, I would think. They come in either fairy cake size or bigger (about 7.5 inches, or A5 paper size).
The ingredients used for these are: water, cornstarch, corn syrup solids, cellulose, sorbitol, glycerine, sugar, veg oil, arabic gum, polysorbate 80, vanilla, titanium dioxide and citric acid. But do check each one – ingredients could vary.
Thanks to Sue G for sharing this.
  | I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle… |
Does anyone have an update for this persons ebay shop please? i’m trying to bake a cake for my son’s birthday and want to get a gluten free topper so my daughter can have some as well :)
Hi,
I hadn’t realised that shop had gone out of business, so thanks for letting us know. I’ve found another one: http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Cake-Toppers-Art__W0QQ_armrsZ1
They say that all their toppers are gluten free, but do check – and let us know how it goes!
