Structural Rules for Toppers
A topper must cut as one connected piece. After converting your design, weld overlapping letters and elements so nothing falls apart, and add a baseline or banner element tying everything together. Leave solid area at the base for topper sticks.
- Weld script letters and touching elements into one path
- Add baselines or banners to connect floating pieces
- Reserve reinforced area at the bottom for stick attachment
Materials and Sizing
Size toppers to the cake: 4-6 inches wide for standard cakes, cut from glitter cardstock or laminated for structure. The SVG scales precisely, and duplicating with a mirror produces the back piece for double-sided glitter toppers.
- Scale precisely: 4-6 inches for standard cakes, minis for cupcakes
- Mirror-duplicate for double-sided glitter assembly
- Thicken delicate swashes so they survive handling
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my topper fall apart after cutting?
Elements weren't welded — they were separate paths that only looked connected. Weld/unite all touching pieces in the converted file so the machine cuts one continuous shape.
What material works best for cake toppers?
Glitter cardstock (double-sided or two mirrored pieces glued) is standard. Food-safe sticks or toothpicks attach to the reserved base area; keep paper off direct frosting contact.
