Frequently asked questions

How does a shaker topper work?

You sandwich a clear acetate window between the front (with cutout) and back panel, with foam tape creating a cavity. Fill with confetti before sealing, then mount on a skewer.

How do I attach it to the cake?

Glue the topper to a wooden skewer with double-sided tape, push the skewer into the cake. Don't push the cardstock part directly into the cake.
