Fondant sugar paste? or Polymer Clay?

Updated: May 19

Our figurines have 2 materials options to choose from, sugar paste or polymer clay. Our original and best selling products, edible cake toppers are made from sugar paste such as modelling paste or fondant. Edible toppers scent absolutely sweet and it is a perfect pick for a party cake. They can actually be nibbled on and eaten and actually taste really amazing. Some enjoy eating the art piece while others say that it is too cute to eat or that they are too pitiful to be eaten. If stored under good conditions, they can actually be kept for many months and years.

On the other hand, some toppers are made of a material called polymer clay, which is hardened by baking and is perfect pick for a keepsake. Polymer clay is the materials used for accessories or display art and quite durable once baked. These pieces can be kept forever if used and stored with care. We also apply resin-glazing on everyday use clay products to increase the durability with scratch resistant quality, or polyurethane sealing on top of cake toppers or display figures to seal the colours.
