Star Wars Fondant Toppers
Similar to the Star Wars-themed confections above, these fondant cupcake toppers portray aspects and characters of the films in space but on a smaller scale. Rather than covering the entirety of the treat, the individually modeled figures were adhered to circular and star-shaped discs. This allow the decorations to top iced cupcakes easily as well as adding uniformity to the entire collection. Personalization was added with the use of letter cutters and presses.
