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.
