Fourth of July is right around the corner & what better way to celebrate than with festive, delicious cupcakes?
Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or just enjoying a quiet family gathering, our Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers in Cardinal Red, Sky Blue, & Ultra White can help you create stunning & patriotic cupcake toppers with minimal effort.
Here’s how you can create these easy DIY cupcake toppers that are sure to impress!
Prepare Your Cupcakes: Start by either baking your favorite cupcake recipe or grabbing some ready-made cupcakes from the store. Set them aside while you prepare your toppers.
Prep Your Melting Wafers: Place your Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers in microwave-safe bowls, one color per bowl. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the wafers are completely melted & smooth. Check out our youtube channel for more precise instructions on how to melt our Sweet Shoppe!
Shape the Toppers: Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Place your star-shaped outline underneath the parchment paper (or the outline of your choice) on top. Pour our melted wafers into a piping bag & carefully trace the design.
Set the Toppers: Allow the melted wafers to cool & harden. To speed up the process, place your baking sheet or plate in the freezer for 2-5 minutes. This will help the toppers set quickly & make it easier to peel off the parchment paper.
Peel Off the Toppers: Once the wafers have set, gently peel the toppers off the parchment paper. Be careful not to break the delicate edges.
Decorate Your Cupcakes: Place your newly created star-shaped chocolate cupcake toppers on top of your frosting. Our vibrant cardinal red, sky blue, & ultra white colors will make your cupcakes stand out & perfectly capture the patriotic spirit of the 4th of July.
PRO TIPS:
Use a metal spatula to help release your designs without breaking them. You can use the edge of the table by pulling the parchment paper down on the edge to help easily peel your designs off.
You can also use cookie cutters to create uniquely shaped cupcake toppers! Simply pour your melted wafers into your cookie cutters & follow the same steps.
If you’re having trouble getting the chocolate to release from the cookie cutter, you can lightly spray the inside of the cookie cutter with non-stick spray before pouring in the melted wafers.
Mix & match colors to create a variety of designs or try swirling two colors together for a marbled effect!
These delicious cupcake toppers are not only easy to make but they also add a delightful touch to your holiday treats. Your guests will be impressed by your creativity & effort & only you will know just how simple they were to create.

Bakery owners are often left wondering how they will purchase the wholesale bakery supplies they need to keep the business running smoothly. Understandably, they would be concerned about this since having the right supplies on hand is so important. However, the situation does not have to be so stressful when you are sure of the types of products you need and where you can buy them from.
We all know the common ingredients for baking: flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, powdered sugar, etc. Let’s look at six professional baking supplies that are ideal for making your baking process seamless, fast, and efficient.
There is nothing worse than using an undependable and lacking distributor when you’re stocking your bakery. This can lead to disastrous complications, such as unhappy customers, unfinished orders, delays, high costs, and so much more. One of the biggest issues is that you can be further taken away from your dream and vision. Finding the right bakery distributor is arguably the most important part of successfully running your own bakery and making that dream come true.
In order to properly run a bakery, you need to make sure that you have all the right supplies. Every step of the way, you want to have everything you need to create your baked goods, decorate them, and place them into the hands of your patient customers. While you may have already considered the pans and piping bags, you may not have given as much thought to the bakery packaging supplies you will need.
